Gordon Ryan has shocked the entire MMA community with his latest announcement. Ryan, possibly the biggest No-Gi grappling star, announced his future in the professional MMA scene. And, surprisingly, secured a much better offer than Dana White would have for him. As recently demonstrated by Francis Ngannou’s shocking exit, the UFC has fallen from the top spot. Because of this, former UFC champions encouraged this ludicrous deal by U.S Based streaming service, FloSports to secure the greatest Jiu-Jitsu fighter according to Joe Rogan. The UFC commentator even compared him to the likes of legendary jiu-jitsu figure, Rickson Gracie.
