Well, was Ryan gracious in victory?
yes, he was very respectful
Galvao on the other hand started talking about his ACL and meniscus injuries

It was a sad way to go out. He didn’t perform bad, nobody else survives that long from that position and he just got beaten by the next generation. If he had just left all that unsaid it wouldn’t have been a bad loss at all.yes, he was very respectful

I hear you. The high road is always the best road, but it isn't always easy and in Galvao's particular situation, I can understand why there could be a huge temptation to make excuses after losing to a guy who slapped you in a viral video and has been trashing you nonstop for the better part of two years.It was a sad way to go out.

Gordon walked through everyone.. crazy..an 11 second sub... 2 minutes in the final.. crazy
Gordon is STILL being respectful to Andre on instagram, even with the laundry list of excuses Andre threw out. I thought after that Gordon would go after him. I suppose since there is no rematch angle there is no point in going after him.
Yup.
Gordon has no more wolf tickets to sell with Andre. Andre will retire now, Gordon will keep on being Gordon. He just closed the Galvao chapter. To diss him further would diminish his own win.
He is still going after Pena hardcore lol. Called him out for a match after winning his super fight.
Not to belittle Andre's pedigree, I just think that Gordon, even if tough battles with Pena etc, should have enough gas to at least beat Andre by any means. No matter how much experience, technique, and chemical assistance Galvao might have, the guy is so old to be competing against the greatest current no-gi grappler pound for pound today.
Seeing how he acted against Clark Gracie one time, him blaming Gordon Ryan for the slap event not knowing he was being filmed has made me like him less for sure. Gordon Ryan isn't a bad man, but I find his antics annoying considering other greats like Roger, MG, Terere etc... are less douche-like.
Don't bring up the Roger thing mate, you'll upset the tiny-dicked among us.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
Guys like Andre need to learn how to lose like Hulk- still come out on top and stealing the spotlight, rather than giving the same old excuses

Of course not... Yes, you're right bro...
Just don't EXPECT to beat Gordon Ryan if you can't blow away that MMA fighter in a grappling match... That's what I'm saying...
