There's no question he'd be good (probably the guy to beat now) but perhaps someone else can give him a run; there certainly isn't with no-gi. I'm sure you know guys that are much stronger in one vs the other; I know I do. I wonder how enjoyable it is for him? Is the challenge there (11 sec heel hooks)? A lot of fans want him to go UFC but that's an entirely different animal as well.

Sigh. Too much jiu-jitsu on my mind.
Didn't see any of the matches but heard Nicky Rod, who was a late fill in, came close to subbing the King? "Saved by the bell", so to speak. But in the end Ryan still won the decision. Sounds like the King got himself a match.
Absolutely not. It was in overtime, Gordon had already won (his ride time was much higher, also had fastest escape). Nicky was on Gordon’s back, cause that’s where he started.
Got it. Thanks for the clarifying.
This is why you can't believe everything you read. I'm going to try to find the match online somewhere when I have some time.
I get the angle- they want to continue to sell Gordon fights by making it seem he might lose soon. I watched Floyd Mayweather every year in May for the same reason.Got it. Thanks for the clarifying.
Streaming not buying. But I’ll watch. Gordon pulling out (illness) from the Flo event left me with an itch to scratch.
Bro. First of all, Bo Nickal is a damn problem. And watching that upset with Bullet Valentino was WILD.
Jon may have beat Ciryl, but that’s just part I. Now he will have to beat his greatest opponent- USADA and post-fight drug tests. So I’ll leave this fight with an asterisks for about 2-3 months… great showing though.
No, he'd have to go down and fight in light heavy to reclaim it, belt was vacated. He has zero desire to get back down to that weight- I think he stays at heavy, picks off Stipe next and sets up a fight with Francis Ngannou early next year. After that there is no one left, unless it's a rematch with Gane.
