Will Gordo actually test himself or will he been keen fighting cans in ONE and taking grappling fights against FWs?
 
UFC isn't a grappling competition... Anything can happen in a fight.
 
Jacare hasn't been a jiu jitsu guy for years

He fell in love with KOing people and became a gatekeeper.
 
Gordon Ryan is scared of having to drop the juice and get tested for actual fights and not that hot yoga shit he is used to competing at.

The moment he fights a big striker he is going to sleep.
 
Ryan has stomach problems, body shots can be lethal against him.
 
it makes no sense for Gordon to crossover to MMA

Hes going for the Garry Tonon and Ryan Hall special beating up on cans or washed up fighters.

These guys dont have the balls of the past era of BJJ greats like Jacare, Maia and Werdum

They aren't the only grappling greats to have that happen to them in MMA either. The more you have to worry about the more openings there are for error as well as fatigue and strikes softening people up. The gloves are also a hindrance as we saw with Marcelo Garcia's lone MMA match.

Jacare hasn't looked all that great grappling wise lately though. Aside from this fight Hermansson almost guillotined him (which Jacare admitted) and Kevin Holland of all people was able to nullify his grappling in the limited time that that match existed (this after Holland's last two losses).
