Gordon says he won’t fight Kaynan outside of a tournament. It’s bc of the bullshit w Kaynan not allowing the footage of their rolls from the 2019 Modolfo camp being released. Gordon pledged all his proceeds to a veterans charity but Kaynan still wouldn’t do it.
I question Nicky Rods commitment to getting better. Not sure he will put himself in those position where he gets humbled in train enough to learn. He had two very poor performances prior to a pretty good adcc. I didn’t see huge growth from him like you’d expect from a inexperienced guy like him.
Yep he cost Gordon money, he was planning on releasing another dvd with commentary on his rolls at the camp. So because of that he doesn’t want him making money off of a match with him.
That and Gordon is good friends with Mo and he put all of the guys up for the whole camp and met all of their needs they had, but knowing that the rolls were going to be recorded and later released on a dvd and for Kaynan to change his mind last minute about the footage being released probably made the whole camp a loss financially(even though Mo is loaded)
All he has to do is not get subbed for twice the amount that he did this time around and then manage to not get subbed again and mount an offense. It won’t happen….but can you imagine?
MMA is a completely different sport than BJJ or submission wrestling. Gordon is the GOAT at no-gi submission wrestling. That’s all anyone is claiming. This stuff about MMA keeps coming up and is pretty silly.
This is nothing. I’m still walking funny when, over three years ago, r I suggested that guys like Hinger, who are competing at the highest levels, shouldn’t be competing in master’s world’s and master’s division should be left for has beens and pedestrian black belts, not top of the food chain competitiors. No one suggested that you never post again and that you should quit jiu jitsu and kill yourself. You got off easy.
I should probably quit BJJ and kill myself, in fairness
But I agree about masters. Early 30’s should be trying to win adult imo. Maybe we’ll see more of that now that adult allows reaping and heel hooks no gi and masters doesn’t.
I think that the person best positioned to beat Gordon other than Gordon is someone not on the scene yet. I think Gordon toys with every one of the top competitors that we’ve heard of
