Media Gordan Ryan compares steroid abuse to Khabib being a weight bully

[koa pomaikai]

Gordan Ryan argues that his steroid abuse in jujitsu is just like Khabib being a weight bully.

He mentions that people remember Khabib for being undefeated and not for being a weight bully missing weight, suggesting Khabib is undefeated because of his size.

“Number one, because they were legal in jiu-jitsu,” Gordon Ryan said about why he’s using steroids. “Especially back then in 2016 when I started, there was no organizations in jiu-jitsu that even tested for PEDs. So they were clearly legal. Number two, people don’t remember anything other than the fact that you won or lost. No one talks about the fact that Khabib missed weight how many times? Six, seven, eight times? They talk about the fact that Khabib’s undefeated.

Gordon Ryan willing to lose ‘20 years off of my life’ from steroids to be BJJ GOAT

BJJ star Gordon Ryan wants to "win at all costs," even if it takes decades from his life.

FYI; Khabib didn’t miss weight that much. He just looks huge as heck so it’s easy to assume he missed weight. Cuts to the brink of death.

lol at Gordon accusing anyone of being a weight bully when he was roid raging on a much smaller Andre Galvao.

This guy butt scoots for a living, he has no business criticizing Khabib.

 

[Haj01]

At least he is admitting it. Which is more than a lot of people. Still i think when you take roids ultimately you are cheating yourself.

You expect bullshit from a piece of shit

Should have compared himself to Jon Jones...

The Khabib weight bully thing was mostly a myth IIRC, he wasn't a very sophisticated water cutter and didn't have a pro nutritionist either. Big LW sure but so were Dustin, Conor, Justin, etc

Weight bully status is more for 145 Conor, 170 Khamzat, 170 Michel Pereira, 185 Alex Pereira typa guys

Khabib fks him up in a fight


Probably

Khabib walks around between 190-200lbs. That’s an insane cut. The dude had seizures from one of his cuts.

Lol...


What a goof...no other words needed

 

[filthybliss]

Most fighters are several pounds overweight in the cage….

Who is this Khabib and why is he at the top of this BJJ GOAT mind?

Its hilarious thinking about the mental gymnastics some posters went through on here defending Gordan Ryan. They would post photos of him as a skinny teenager and say 'look he had abs even then!' even though he was built like a coat hanger.

More than one thing can be true at once:

- Gordan Ryan was always a very talented no-gi submission grappler

- Ryan has been on an extraordinary volume of PEDS throughout his pro career


The timeline that he put on a cartoon volume of muscle doesn't bode well. He was a lanky fit guy that turned into the hulk in a little over a year. Genetics are a factor of course but from his own admission and words, the guy will do anything. He likely went very, very hard on the sauces.

I don't think this story ends well, he's probably right about that.

Didn't Joe Rogan also claim that weight cutting was more like cheating than PEDs?

Closer to 180-190 when he was competing. He was under 177 in-cage against Justin. That's not the biggest lightweight around. Tibau nearly walks around at 200 and weighs over 180 in the cage. Dustin was 176 in-cage against Max. Felder and Chandler have been in cage at 180. Dober has been 183 in-cage.

I wouldn't classify anyone on your LW list as being a big LW. I feel khabib looked bigger than Justin even

 

[rjmbrd]

He was under 177 in-cage against Justin.

Self reported fight day weight doesn't really mean anything. I may be reading your post incorrectly but I believe you are referencing Khabib fighting Justin in Abu Dhabi.

Unless you've fought under CSAC and have an official fight day weigh-in, its all just talk.

He's already fucked his entire body up abusing the sauce. Doesn't have a lot of competition time left I don't think.

He claimed that this transformation (on cycle and off cycle with diverticulitis) was from "the curse’ of body-harming antibiotics" LMAO
