If he really wants to be paid, he can just croudfund his participation in the IBJJF events.

@@mavzolej bruh, dude already makes millions a year.

I want him to do it, just to bathe in the tears of all the people who say he couldn't.

He won't he's too gay

or bursting nuts

its extremely muscley... its just not explosive. there is a difference. gordon is one of the strongest people in bjj atm.

I mean if you're strong then you can do that

@@philipdru4782 I mean he's not on gear for no reason, look how he just moves the guy like he's weightless.

lol. Ryan has probably 50 lbs on this guy!

@@Danlovestrivium wat r y trying to say

Rofl. Not really. He got smashed so hard I didn’t really see anything from him except in the last 30 seconds.

@@hedark1135 You're probably an awesome training partner.

@@tappcs yeah man he’d beat GR too I’m sure. Totally not some random on KZfaq that does jack shit 👌

@@tappcs I am. Over 11 years and 3k+ hours on the mats.

@@hedark1135do you understand how big Gordon is? There’s not a lot of guys his size at that level

Agreed, pretty impressive.

Yea you can see he’s consciously trying to get the most out of training in the gi.

Anything for the toob

Impressive

John is the master

@@jc-pe6ue master instructor, without a doubt 🔥

It does

Inside heelhooks and RNC over the jaw. Literally the only two moves I never see in the gi. Not sure why you think this.

@@JG-uw3ch LMFAO imagine think thats all his game is

@@yellowjvcket galvao fan boy right there

Probably even more so tbh.

True!

I’m not sure about that

I agree. His controlling style I think is actually better suited to the gi.

The fact is that he is a great champion in

@@cristianoteixeira3868 yea, we're seeing him roll against an average black belt, not a world champion. He's not dealing with all the complex gi based guard systems here.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 so keep him against Menegali

This is flawless in a gi ? 😂

Yea, his torreando style gets ever better with gi grips. And half-guard passing can become even higher pressure using the lapel to reinforce the nearside crossface. The scary thing: 1) that is just two passing pathways that translate from the gi. 2) lately his nogi mount has looked really good and it looks like Roger has been coming over to train with him. He may become as great in the gi as no gi given a year or two time.

Grips are facilitaded by the gi. I think he could enter a GI worlds and bring it home

Makes sense. The friction of the gi makes control easier and stronger, and favors pressure passing much more than in no-gi. His gi passing is probably monstrous.

Yeah he should try out no-gi. Might have a future in it

underrated comment

And Lex!

Lex said he is gonna release it in the next few days 👀

What a bullsh!t statement

He has competed in Gi

Exactly. I've seen footage of him competing in the gi wrecking black belts as a purple belt.

Do people really think to be "complete at Jiu Jitsu" that both Gi and no gi should be trained? I think this is very far removed from most modern practitioners minds. I would consider it two separate disciplines.

@@dylansechler same family. Same moves. Some instructors might have renamed moves but they are the same. In Gi an Americana is the same as a No-Gi Americana. My opinion is that if a No-Gi individual black belt never trained in Gi and puts the Gi on for the first time he/she isn’t a black belt in BJJ but a No-Gi black belt.

Nope!!! Too many A level guys in the gis!!!..he will not go over 50 win straight in gi for sure!!!

@@delmassamba7645 he would ez work

@@delmassamba7645 most high level competitive black belts have a great "game" they play. The difference is Gordon uses his intelligence to solve problems. The guy doesn't have a set game. He legitimately understands how the human body moves and uses concepts to expose your weaknesses. Plus having Danaher as a coach I'd bet he'd win Gi Worlds next year if he tried.

Gol D. Roger?

@@tlungu962 gor D Ryan

I agree he would do well in gi but definitely would need to spend a couple more years training in it before he would have a chance of dominating. His body positioning is impeccable, but gi-to-nogi is usually an easier transition (like Meregali) than nogi-to-gi because there are a LOT of gripping details to learn for the gi. I don't hear anyone talking about MMA, not even Gordon anymore. MMA is a sport for explosive people, not isometrically strong people like Gordon and Roger.

No matter what anyone says, if you pour your heart into this sport for hard enough and long enough to get a black belt, only to get completely handled like a 2 stripe white belt, that has got to be disheartening. I reminds me of my first tournament at blue belt. I got walked through so hard that I saw exactly how much I didn't know despite thinking I was actually beginning to get good. They treated my like I wasn't even there and I felt like I was a day one white belt all over again!

This ❤

Agreed!

Roger too old

It's all the stuff John teaches in his instructionals - half guard lapel sweeps and lapel crossface when he's on top too

He's the GIAT in No Gi

Let’s hope the juice doesn’t mess him up. He is a very high level at a very young age. He will hopefully be around a long time 🤞

You’re saying Gordon used all strength to dominate this guy? Were you watching lol

He’s a crazy strong dude but my impression is that’s not really a factor that even comes into play except when he’s competing with the very top tier guys nearer his size like Peña or Galvao. Even then his strength, when he uses it, seems mostly like it’s just to balance out against their strength. He dominates his matches because of his technique.

Steroids help

@@creativeape8994 so what if he is. Everyone else is to. Steroids don’t make you strong if you are not strong already. I sick of hearing that he is still bad ass

@@smasher1234 lol if you take roids and sit on a couch day and night you will be more muscular and strong than if you were natural and going to lift

I’ll settle for a NAGA or Grappling Industries tournament lol

@@rickybarksdale7150 hell yeah. Even just 1 superfight.

😂😂😂😂

well obviously his partner looks like he weights barely 80kgs. SO against the massive Gordon , ye he'd sweat.

@@Dervus6p I don't think people are recognizing the weight difference here. If anything, huge props to the guy that's giving up 50+ lbs to a 220lbs, 6% body fat, PED injected, greatest nogi player in history and not getting completely tooled.

@@Danlovestrivium lol u actually think Gordon walks around at 220lbs? That is just his competition weight when he has an 8 pack and shredded to da 9s. He has been 270lbs at times.

@@REXAZOR I thought we were talking about this video. If we are, there's no way on earth he's anywhere close to 270lbs and I wouldn't be surprised if he's lower than 230lbs. But even still, by point wasn't about what his heaviest weight was, it was giving props to a guy that's probably giving up over 50lbs of weight and still looking like he knows what's going on. I'm not sure if you train or not, this isn't an insult to you. But anyone that's ever rolled with an extremely muscular athlete that weighs over 50lbs more than them understand how almost physically impossible that task is, much less someone anywhere even close to the skill level of GR. Most would have been insta-mounted and sat on until the bigger guy got board and let him up.
