Garry Tonon didn't even make the podium (losing to Gianno Grippo in the bronze medal match), Gordan Ryan tapped Yuri with an RNC, and Murillo Santana beat Craig Jones on penalty points.
Thoughts?
who else beat tonnon? how did gianni beat him?
He also doesn’t seem to care about points.Could Garry's recent slide be due to him focusing more on MMA>?
As per his quote on Instagram after the event:
" I'm excited to announce I will be taking no grappling matches until after my first fight in @onechampionship,
it's been real BJJ world, I'll see you again someday soon, but now it's time to learn to beat someone up in a cage."

You touched on a great point that I think is being overlooked: guard passing. I have studied Garry's game since he was a brown belt. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen him complete a clean pass, and count on two hands the times he's even tried them. He's one of the few competitors with a deadly top game that doesn't really consist of a clean passing game. Even as a brown belt when he was only finishign RNCs, he wasHard to characterize this as a "recent slide," seems more in line with how he's always been: always dangerous, well-rounded, hard-to-submit, but maybe slightly lacking the super-ultimate guard, passing, or wrestling sufficient to consistently defeat the best of the best.
