The news that Brittney Griner would miss her team Phoenix Mercury's next two-game road trip has gone viral. Griner's supporters struggled with this because he is one of the most well-known sportsmen in the league, but they were really sympathetic for the centre. Gordon Ryan, a legend in BJJ, was one of those disgruntled spectators.
Brittney Griner will not be travelling with the Mercury for their next two-game road trip, according to Ryan's statement on his Instagram story. In February 222, Griner was detained by airport officials in Moscow on drug-related accusations. Before releasing the Mercury centre in a prisoner swap with Viktor Bout in December, they held her for almost ten months. The WNBA star is now gradually regaining her balance and returning to her regular life.
In December, the UFC will stage a thrilling cross-promotion grappling competition where some of the top grapplers from across the world will participate. Along with some of the biggest names in the sport, Georges St-Pierre, one of the best UFC fighters, will make his comeback at the event.
The 'King' of BJJ, it would appear, even has St-Pierre in his crosshairs. He has formally claimed that Gordon Ryan is the only opponent with whom he will not engage in combat. Ryan is undoubtedly one of the best athletes in BJJ right now, and his BJJ resume speaks for itself.
