Well now, let me tell ya about this big ol’ match between Gordon Ryan and Dillon Danis. They done had themselves a good ol’ grapple back in the 2017 ADCC World Championship, and folks been talkin’ about it ever since. Now, I ain’t no expert in all them fancy submission holds, but I reckon these two boys sure put on a show. They ain’t no strangers to the grapplin’ world, that’s for sure. They both been around the block, and they both know how to handle themselves on the mat. But when it came down to it, Gordon Ryan ended up with the win, though it wasn’t no easy feat. Oh no, sir, it was a tough fight from start to finish. And mind you, it weren’t no submission victory, neither. It ended up going to a decision from the referee, and Ryan came out on top.
Now, some folks might say that the match was a bit of a back-and-forth, with neither one of ’em able to lock in a submission, but it sure was a good ol’ display of skill and endurance. Ryan, who’s been called the best submission grappler there ever was, kept on pushin’ through, showin’ just why he’s earned that title. He ain’t just been sittin’ on his laurels, no sir, he’s kept trainin’ and fightin’ his way to the top. But Danis, well, he didn’t go down without a fight. He made sure to give Ryan a run for his money. Even though Ryan won, it was a hard-fought victory, and I reckon both men walked away with some pride.
But you know, it ain’t just about that one match. These two been goin’ back and forth ever since, talkin’ smack and tradin’ barbs. It’s like they can’t let it go, always bringin’ up that time they faced off. And why wouldn’t they? It was a close match, and it left folks wonderin’ who really came out on top. But I tell ya, the rivalry don’t just stop there. There’s been a whole mess of talk about who’s the better grappler, with some folks sayin’ it’s Ryan, and others sayin’ it’s Danis. Ain’t no simple answer, that’s for sure.
Now, I reckon if we look at their records, we can see why folks might lean towards Gordon Ryan. The man’s got a record that’s hard to beat—153 wins, 9 losses, and 3 draws. That’s a whole lotta success in the grapplin’ world, and he’s taken down some big names along the way, like Nicky Rodriguez and Andre Galvao. He’s been trained by John Danaher, a man who knows his stuff when it comes to submission grapplin’. Ryan’s done it all, and it ain’t no surprise folks call him the greatest. But don’t count out Dillon Danis just yet. The man’s got skill, no doubt about it. Though he might’ve been disqualified in that one match for a takedown and an illegal choke, he’s still one to watch.
Now, I know folks like to argue about who’s the best, but I reckon it’s hard to say for sure. Both Ryan and Danis have had their moments, and both have faced some tough competition. But when it comes to sheer dominance in the grapplin’ world, Ryan seems to have the edge. Ain’t nobody been able to beat him consistently, and that says a lot. Even so, it’s clear these two ain’t done with each other yet. There’s still plenty of bad blood between ’em, and I reckon they’ll be takin’ shots at each other for years to come. If you ask me, that’s what makes it so dang interestin’ to watch.
So there you have it, folks. A tale of two grapplers, both with their own skills, but only one who came out on top. Will Danis ever get his revenge? Well, I reckon only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure—this rivalry ain’t goin’ nowhere anytime soon.
