Many fans are waiting for Ryan Gordon's debut on MMA, but it seems that this will be difficult to happen in the near future. As a fighter who has won the championship repeatedly at ADCC, Gordon deserves to be considered the best narrative today, and a desirable boxer in MMA.
Sharing with the MMA Fighting page, Gordon said that he would focus on BJJ for a while longer instead of playing MMA.
“If you want to play MMA, it takes a lot of time to prepare. When I first won the ADCC championship, my colleague Garry Tonon intended to play MMA. One Championship quickly signed a contract with him, and I accepted the same offer.”
However, at that time I was only 22 years old, just won the first ADCC title in my career, at that time I thought I should focus on BJJ for a while longer before playing MMA.
Unfortunately, everything is not as goron Ryan desired. In 2019, he suffered a serious injury to the knee ligament and had to perform surgery. That made him unable to wholeheartedly practice MMA.
“President ONE Championship – Chatri has texted me about MMA, but now what I focused on is the match against Andrre Galvao in the upcoming ADCC period. So I'm not sure I will play MMA at this time. So I answered with Chatri: 'If you want, we can promote a Grappling game at this time. Ryan Gordon added.
Recently Chatri announced on her personal page that Ryan Gordon would appear at One Championship with a BJJ match against Shinya Aoki's master on August 27.
