Andre Galvao vs Gordon Ryan

[maximus__]

I think from another thread Roger wasn't a angel, particularly in his younger days. I think MG is pretty much the only one that's saintly

Marcelo gave us Danis so he wasn't perfect either. Not entirely his fault, but he still gave the guy a black belt.

Gordon can be douchey at times, but the guy is phenomenal and nobody can take that away from him

He is clearly head and shoulders above the rest right now and these guys or any up and comers will really have to put in the work to come up with the strategy to beat him

a lot of it is mental preparation. Gordon believes he is unbeatable and with the amount of trash he talks, it makes him put in the work to back it up. In his mind he can't afford to fail. Kind of reminds me of Floyd (only in a much smaller scale of course, as BJJ isn't close to that level of exposure)

Gordon is just so good to watch. He obviously has the leg lock game, but his primary game recently has been a return to back takes or the classic smash game from mount. It really is good to see as much as I like flying stuff with Gordon it's just a slow progression to the finish.

Ya but didn't he disown Dillon pretty much as soon as he started acting like current Dillon? (Once he started trying to copy Conor)

He's breaking them mentally
It's similar to how Floyd boxed, where after you know you are outclassed in pretty much everything

Ryan is even more dominant right now

Please expand on the Roger thing, I always thought he was Mr. Good guy like MG….

In that context, you are right, I should have read that again



what happened between him and Clark? I havent heard that one before

During their match, Andre felt Clark was intentionally trying to reap him and got revenge by trying “Sweep” Clark while everyone else booed and felt it was more like a kick.

Basically, Roger was sent away from Brazil after he attacked transvestites(trans women?) by his folks.

Wow, didn’t know that. That sucks.

 

[Grappling Magic]

Gordon Ryan is the most dominant and indubitably the BEST NoGi grappler in the WORLD whether You like it or not. He truly is "The King".

 

[Tapatio]

Saw that. Galvao just defending the inevitable the whole time.

It was bit more than attacked, him and his buddies got drunk and decided to go out looking for trans hookers to kick the shit out of. Potentially on more than one occasion. So they were actively hunting them, with intent to kick the shit out of them.

 

[mattemate]

Don't bring up the Roger thing mate, you'll upset the tiny-dicked among us.

I hadn't even heart. What's that say about MY dick?

tbh, I didn't even know nor heard about any of it until the last week or two. Everyone's got skeletons

Uh-oh.

He kicked him in the ass.

Still not as bad as what Galvao did to Clark! Anyway, that's his personallife. He was always a class act on the mats. So what if he liked to have a good time with transmissions? The transmissions wanted to have a good time with him too! Did he throw them off roof tops? OF COURSE NOT (otherwise he'd have a lifetime invitation to ADCC). Between him taking care of transmissions, and Gordon taking care of bums, these guys are doing a tremendous job cleaning up the streets.

Which imo isn't even a good move.

 

[Da Speeit]

Picture Amy took with us as she was getting swarmed. First ADCC medalist on our team other than the one who started it, glad its a gold!

Sorry for the weird format, she was far away behind a rope post-interview and I didn't want to post my teammates and dox some guy and his kids


Some more from they day with some familiar faces

Spoiler

some normal sized people

 

[Kevza]

Remember when he jumped the barricade at World’s because he didn’t like the call the ref gave one of his guys?

He also was bullying kids another time demanding phones (BJJ Steroids thing).

A lot of these famous guys try to come off as humble or Christians or whatever, but they’re anything but. That’s BJJ in general though. I’ve seen too much shitty behavior at competitions. At least Gordon isn’t phony.

Really, I have no opinion on them besides their BJJ skills. I’m not counting Galvao out. I have a feeling he’s going to keep it standing and refuse to engage on the ground with Gordon.

By no means a Galvao fan. But are these people supposed to be perfectly calm gods every single day of their lives?

Liking God or Jesus doesnt mean you cant lose your temper now and then, or have an argument LOL

oh for fuck's sake.

i always felt like roger was just arrogant and self centered, didn't know he was mental. sucks to hear.

How do you know the story? I only saw a newspaper about him shooting them with an BB gun

I never knew Roger had a dark side.

This makes me like Hoger more Lol

Beating up untrained people is easy at his level. If we’re going the ape route, I’d much prefer the jiu-jitsu vs Luta Livre wars of the 80’s and early 90’s, at least it involved fighter vs fighter.

Sure he can lose his temper. Being a Christian, Muslim, Jew, or whatever doesn’t mean you’re supposed to be perfect or a door mat.

We’re all human, but don’t try to hide behind religion or God and pass yourself off as Christ-like when your actions are consistently contradictory to what you espouse.
