Gordon Ryan has had a memorable 2021 thus far to say the least.
In March, Ryan signed a deal with ONE Championship to compete in grappling and, possibly, MMA should he decide to make the transition. A black belt under Garry Tonon, who is 6-0 as a MMA fighter inside the ONE cage, Ryan has won multiple no-gi championships with wins over MMA veterans like Josh Barnett, Gabriel Gonzaga, Rousimar Palhares, Dillon Danis and Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida, who also recently signed a deal with ONE for his MMA debut.
