Ryan was out of action for quite some time owing to his illness. However, the strength of the ADCC champion lies in his spirits. In a recent interview with Andrew Capucetti from Inside Fighting, Ryan conversed about his health and training.

Ryan said, ?Yeah, I?m trying. I just got cleared actually this next week coming back. I have my tonsils taken out, I have my deviated something fixed. And so, I wasn?t able to train. Couldn?t get my nose hit. So, this week coming back up, I can go back to hard training. I?ve been rolling around a little bit. But, I have one more week and then I can train hard, and then I?m ready to go and back to the normal full steam ahead, normal schedule.?
