Gordon Ryan
Systematic, surgical, and confident enough to call every shot before he lands it.
Gordon Ryan's style
Danaher-system no-gi grappling. Body lock pass, back-take chain, strangulation hierarchy — Gordon turned grappling into a chess engine and made the rest of the no-gi world catch up. He's the dominant absolute no-gi player of his generation.
