Gordon Ryan is a towering figure in the world of jiu-jitsu, widely recognized as the preeminent Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) grappler on a global scale. The 28-year-old American has achieved the remarkable status of a 5-time ADCC world champion, a 2-time IBJJF no-gi world champion, and a 4-time Eddie Bravo Invitational champion.

Ryan's well-established connections with UFC fighters, including the likes of Jon Jones, have garnered significant attention for their recent joint training sessions.

Elsewhere, Conor McGregor recently took to Instagram, offering a glimpse into his grappling training sessions. 'The Notorious' could be seen practicing moves with a training partner on the mat. He captioned:
