Super-prospect Gordon Ryan wins the Sapateiro Invitational in spectacular fashion.
The world of professional grappling is evolving at an unbelievable rate. It seems like just yesterday that Garry Tonon was heralded as the next big thing and while he has arrived as the premier star in the sport, he has also transitioned capably into the role of mentor and coach. Tonon's protege Gordon Ryan has been making waves in jiu-jitsu for the last few years. In 2014, Ryan shot to fame as a purple belt when he tapped numerous black belts out at the PGL tournament, but it wasn't until this weekend that he got to show his skills to the masses.
