I believe Rorion has an incredible defense and could do it right now even at his age. The unknown is the new leglock game, so let’s assume no leglocks.

Ryron did that against Galvao with no issues. But Rorion is pretty damn old & Gordon is still in his prime. Maybe if Rorion was younger but I dunno.
Rorion is 100 years old ffs. Kinda a dumb question.
Ralek had a match with Gordon. Gordon was far from his prime (yet) in that match. Ralek lasted I dont know, about 10 minutes, but was dominated the whole time and eventually submitted

2.1 out of 10 OP
Not only would he defend, he would submit him in under 5 minutes. Especially if green Gracie bjj mats are involved
What about Rickson? He was the best Gracie
400-0…
As much as I love the traditions of early martial arts…
There really is no doubt who would win in this day and age…
GM Helio could survive 5 minutes if he was still alive (let’s assume age 71, the same age as Rorion now) and no leglocks. Saulo Riberio couldn’t submit GM Helio when GM Helio was in his 80s.
