The beef between BJJ G.O.A.T. Gordon Ryan and the B-Team does not seem like it will come to an end anytime soon. The five-time ADCC champion was accused by Nick Rodriguez of using PEDs to perform better on the ground. Ever since then the two have engaged in a back-and-forth verbal war. However, it seems that Ryan is furious against the entire B-Team. Following this bitter relationship with Rodriguez, Ryan then shifted to throw his jabs at the Jiu-Jitsu coach of Alexander Volkanovski, Craig Jones.

Initially, both Jones and Ryan shared a wonderful friendship, but time brought many disagreements between the two. Jones publicly made jokes about the BJJ black belt, Ryan. Undoubtedly, this didn’t go well for him. In the recent Instagram story of “The King,” took a jab at Jones for not being able to achieve victory in a single notable tournament in years. Furthermore, the submission grappler conveyed through a meme that Craig Jones’ focus is on trolling Ryan and not winning a major tournament.
