5-time ADCC champion Gordon Ryan does not seem to stop winning. He recently competed against Patrick Gaudio at the Tezos WNO 20: Night of Champions, which he won. Moreover, Ryan’s win came off an armbar submission, which was the exact prediction he made to one of Joe Rogan‘s friends, Tony Hinchcliffe.

Just a few months ago, Gordon Ryan was in a debilitating condition. He shared pictures on his social media handles, which showed that he was looking very weak, and even lost a lot of muscle mass. However, Ryan was determined to improve and made a triumphant return against Patrick Gaudio on Sunday. Let’s see what transpired during the grappling match.

Gordon Ryan wins on his return

‘The King’, after months away from competition, returned to compete against Patrick Gaudio. He proved his status as the number-one No-Gi grappler despite facing some troubling medical issues in the recent past. Moreover, it was Gordon Ryan’s first fight of the year and he showed no signs of rust. Throughout the fight, he was in complete control over Gaudio.

Gordon Ryan swiftly changed from a free mount and then isolated Patrick Gaudio’s arm, getting him into an armbar submission position. The 30-year-old Brazilian was trying to get out of the predicament but had to tap out. Incidentally, this was the same way Ryan predicted that he’d finish his opponent during a conversation with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. Let’s take a look at the conversation they had prior to the fight.

‘The King’s prediction surprised Joe Rogan’s friend

Gordon Ryan seems to have a good relationship with popular comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who has been Joe Rogan’s friend for years. Prior to the fight on Sunday, he told the ‘Kill Tony’ host about how the fight would end during a chat they had on the phone. Ryan said, “Match prediction on Sunday. Calling arm bar to sell my new instructional basis.” Along with the prediction, Ryan also shared a couple of pictures of a box.

He later revealed that the box included a bottle of Conor McGregor‘s Proper 12 whiskey, a doll, and a note about how things would go down during the fight. Tony Hinchcliffe was surprised to see that the fight went the exact same way as the prediction and shared a story on Instagram about it. He praised Gordon Ryan and said, “Lol [Gordon Ryan] called his shot Friday night. What a monster.”
