Ryan, on his Instagram story, posted a screenshot of people talking about how he cyberbullied his ex-girlfriend in the past for “breaking up” with him. However, the BJJ practitioner denied all claims explaining what actually happened between the two.

On his Instagram story, Ryan stated, “That’s not what happened at all. She attacked me and told me that I was gonna be broke in five years. So I just thought up five years later, and she was one who was broke. And so yeah, of course, Reddit hates that, because that’s like, you know, a hero story. Like this girl came and attacked someone. Basically, a bully came and attacked us and you wouldn’t amount to anything. That’s the actual story. Didn’t have my fans tacking on because she rejected me. First of all, what girl would even reject me.”

In the interview, the Bellator champ stated “Gordon is the best of the best. I just don’t agree with him on a certain point when it comes to PEDs. I’m just anti-PED, I just don’t think it’s good for humans, especially for kids to be doing that s***. You might have the influence to have a kid do it, and that might ruin their life in the long run”
