This type of match gives most of us an idea of what it'd be like: if the best guy at your school open mat rolled with Gordan Ryan. We've all wondered how that guy you know that smokes everybody else at your gym would do against the best guy out there. I would love to see more matches just like this.
Props to Rowe for showing up! Hopefully he learned something to advance his game. That pre-fight mentality was quickly smothered when the King layer his hands on him.
its great to see the level of knowledge from the fans, the way these guys flow in and out of submissions and escapes. Keep the competition at high level makes great fans.
9:20 Bro the way Gordon lets Rowe take his arm and extend it, then magically it just... isn’t an armbar anymore... lol. This man and his coach John have legitimately broken jiu jitsu. They need to patch these glitches ASAP
idk, since Gordon's doing these exhibitions for a while, I think Khabib is a great promotional match up. To say "Khabib would kill GR" or vice versa is way too hard to say.

@@phoenixamaranth How is that even a question, Khabib would get destroyed. It's really weird to me how people can't disconnect dominance in a certain sport and weight class from the best in a different sport.
@@TheDirtyyoungman1 I used to train with him back in the day. He would occasionally stop into my gym at the time, Elite Muay Thai in Daytona beach, to train with us. I even fought on/been at amateur events he fought in. He was always an arrogant show-boater. Would mock his opponents, etc. People like him because he's very charismatic, but most people are m0r0ns and sheeple so that's hardy surprising. Just how the world works. His character and heart deep down is trash. I remember rolling with him one time, and I took his back and went for a rear-naked-choke, and he pretended like he gave up the position on purpose, as if he allowed me to choke him to help "teach" me or something. Deep down he has a massive ego.
I'm new to jiu jitsu I dunno much abt it but this Gordon guy seems like he can take the fight to whatever position and situation he wants...I'm eager to watch more abt him honestly.
Gordon literally gave his back multiple times and Rowe refused to take it. Turtled as well. Those were the moments I'm talking about. Like, attempt something my dude. How often do you get to roll with the best in the world? It's a wasted opportunity.
When rowe threw those punches almost saying he wish it was a real fight so he could be dominating and then gordon flipping him right over and gets on top and shows that he would dominate him in a ufc style fight as well
That look on Rowe's face after the 4th submission was him thinking,...."I really have a long way to go and may never get there." Ryan is truly a master at his craft.
"Measured analysis"? I lost count of how many times her analysis was "Rowe is going to look to push the pace now" You only realise how good, good commentary is when you hear bad commentary.
bro john danaher is like a sith lord of bjj
He gives off emperor vibes every time Gordon rolls and it's scarier when he doesn't talk, I dont doubt they communicate telepathically
