UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3, a pro-grappling event, is being held at UFC Apex in Las Vegas with an exciting prize of $25,000 in the line. With the featherweight match between Miesha Tate and Bia Mesquita ending in the latter’s favor, the entire focus was on the main “superfight” between Gordon Ryan and Nick Rodriguez. And the results are here. Gordon Ryan, 27, a.k.a, “The King” has further exceeded his reign in the territory and defeated Nick Rodriguez, 26, a.k.a “Nicky Rod”.

The fight started off guns blazing from both the ends, but it didn’t go the way many Gordon Ryan fans may have thought. Although the 27-year-old had an upper hand at times. By the end of it, Nick Rodriguez seemed to have almost dominated “The King”. It wasn’t an easy fight for Ryan. The 26-year-old certainly proved to be quite a handful for “The King”.

Ryan even tapped to Rodriguez at the conclusion of the third round, but by then the fight had gone into overtime. In the end, it was Gordon Ryan who walked away with the victory at the UFC Fight Pass International 3.
