Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling ace, Gordon Ryan has described an impromptu decision to roll with ‘The Mountain’, Hafthor Bjornsson as the “dumbest” career choice he has ever made, explaining how he was fearful his head coach, John Danaher would find out of his grappling session.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling ace, Gordon Ryan has described an impromptu decision to roll with ‘The Mountain’, Hafthor Bjornsson as the “dumbest” career choice he has ever made, explaining how he was fearful his head coach, John Danaher would find out of his grappling session.
Ryan, a decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace and submission grappler, recently featured at a UFC Fight Pass Invitational superfight against fellow grappler, Nick Rodriguez – emerging victoriously in the No-Gi outing, courtesy of a Fastest Escape Time victory.
Earlier this year, the 27-year-old managed to land an impressive win over Brazilian veteran and grappling star, Andre Galvao, submitting the latter with a rear-naked choke to win the ADCC superfight championship.
Prior to his matchup with Rodriguez this past weekend, Ryan trained alongside Game of Thrones star, Bjornsson, who played ‘The Mountain’ on the critically-aclaimed show, however, expressed his fear of potentially suffering an injury during the rolling session.
“Probably the dumbest and most risky career choice I’ve ever made, because it was the day before I was supposed to compere, and I was like, man, if I get hurt, John (Danaher) is going to kill me,” Gordon Ryan told MMA Fighting. “So I told them I wasn’t drilling with them. I taught them a private before and I’m like, ‘I’m not drilling with you guys, you’re too big.’ Then the camera guy is like, ‘You guys want to roll?’ So I look around – we had just finished training, it was the day before competition, I look, see John is nowhere to be found, and I’m like, ‘Let’s do a quick one.’”
“So I trained with them, and Martins (Licis) actually used to wrestle so he has some good instincts,” Gordon Ryan explained. “He has a good base, he’s hard to sweep, he’s super strong, he’s a lot more compact than Thor. Thor’s a lot bigger and longer. Obviously, just the strongest guys you’re ever going to touch from every position, but believe it our not, the mechanics and the body position mean a lot more than the overall strength.”
“When you have misplaced strength, you tend to not feel as stone as you are,” Gordon Ryan. “I’ve trained with so many guys who are so strong in the gym, but they feel like children on the mats. It’s very weird how it translates. These guys are obviously strong in the gym and strong on the mats because they’re just so strong, but I’ve trained with bodybuilders before, and without the body positioning, it’s hard to really feel strong.”

Hollywood star, Tom Hardy has been praised for his humility and competitiveness during his recent appearance at an ADCC Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament in Milton Keynes – where the grappler scored a pair of gold medals.
Hardy, 45, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt, has plied his trade under the banner of Roger Gracie’s grappling schools in the past, and is an ambassador for REORG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Foundation.
The Peaky Blinders and Mad Max star recently competed at an ADCC Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event in Milton Keynes in his native England, scoring a pair of gold medals as a blue belt at the 2022 Open Championship held at Oakgrove School.
Just last month, Tom Hardy competed at another Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament held in Wolverhampton, scoring a slew of submission victories en route to another gold medal success.
And over the course of last weekend once again, Hardy managed to defeat each and every competitor en route to another gold medal triumph – this time defeating Sean Rosborough in the tournament final.
“Everyone recognised him (Tom Hardy), but he was very humble and was happy to take time out for people to take photographs with him,” A spokesperson for event organizers, Ultimate Martial Arts Championships said. “It was a real pleasure to have him compete at our event.” (Transcribed by Yahoo! Sports)
In a snippet of footage captured from one of Hardy’s matches over the course of last weekend, the former is pulled into guard during a Gi match, and successfully stacks as his opponent attempts to setup a triangle.
Carefully passing guard to side control eventually, Hardy steps over and nabs hold of an arm. Pulling apart the grip after some hand fighting, Hardy forces a quickfire tap as he progresses through the blue belt category en route to an eventual gold medal victory.

Footage has emerged of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling match featuring an elder competitor criticizing her younger opponent for not letting go of a submission following a tap, after she initially shoved her in the face.
In footage posted by Twitter user, @mma_mami, a practitioner sporting a white rashguard and black spats, shoves her younger opponent who is sitting on the mat, to her back, courtesy of a shove to her face.
Latching onto quite an awkwardly positioned armbar, the younger competitor eventually forces a tap, however, the elder practitioner immediately warns her, “when I tap, let go” whilst wincing in pain and shaking out her right arm.
As the two return to the center of the match as the referee raises the arm of the victor, the elder competitor reiterates her sentiment: “You have to learn to tap (sic) – when I tap, let go.”
With the aforenoted Twitter user questioning the legality of a shove to the face in BJJ grappling competition, Invicta FC atomweight contender, Jillian DeCoursey confirmed that a shove in a BJJ match was “perfectly legal” before claiming the elder competitor was just upset that she had been “schooled” by her younger adversary.
“It’s perfectly legal,” DeCoursey tweeted. “As far as the other stuff? That’s the adult acting like a child. Often you don’t feel the tap or realize it’s a tap. The young lady did nothing wrong, she let go when the ref recognized the tap. That’s a woman being upset she got schooled by a “kid”.”
In what appears to be a second BJJ match between the two, the younger competitor once again locks up an armbar, this time from full guard, however, the elder practitioner taps once more, but appears to strike the offensive grappler twice in the midsection, before shaking out the same arm in pain and refusing to let the official call a halt to the match and award the win to her opponent.
