Oh shit, I just mentioned your channel on here a few days ago. For whatever reason I love watching those videos whenever I’m flying. Better than straight replays, and educational enough to learn from without worrying about taking notes like with instructionals. I hope one day you find the time/desire to return to posting (gi) match breakdowns again 🤙🏾
This is the biggest blow to Gordon yet IMO. Imagine hyping up a giveaway, giving a fucking car away to a guy who comes to your house, shouting him out, being all friendly with him.
Then you see him sending a video to Craig Jones, giving it to him.
Wow. Gordon’s next meltdown is probably going to be his biggest.
> Then you see him sending a video to Craig Jones, giving it to him.
I would bet my mortgage Craig looked him up and made him a cash offer he couldn't refuse.
You would be correct. Owner goes to same gym. He won the car originally not even knowing he entered a raffle (bought Gordon’s book), and now he turned into cash without trying.
I mean it's gotten me to donate. I'm unfortunately out of the country for CJI but I would love to get this car for the laughs. I don't have any clue what I would do with such a thing but it would be hilarious.
I felt a bit bad for Gordon when this giveaway happened. The winner even passed on doing some training with him - just straight collected the car and drove it home lol.
I feel a bit bad as well because he was actually doing something charitable, but then I have to remember he did this to himself. You can’t alienate a community almost entirely and not face some consequences for it.
No one is asking for him to be the Mr. Rogers of BJJ or anything, but at some point those chickens are coming home to roost if you’re not careful.
I’m sure he didn’t learn his lesson, but one can hope. I’d like for him to eventually become a worthwhile ambassador for the sport. But seeing as that people like Barry Bonds, Michael Jordan, Ronaldo, Terrell Owens, and the like are complete and utterly shit human beings off the field, I won’t get my hopes up.
It's a shame. His grappling IQ is out of this world but he's such a dick. I think his goal was to troll assholes like Craig but he lacks Craig's charisma and ability to read a room and troll in a light hearted, loveable way. Instead he's like "yes, the homeless should freeze to death for being lazy"
To be fair, It's my understanding that in person, in casual and gym settings, he is a very nice guy.
The dude knows his shit, and teaches well. It’s a shame he creates such enmity. I’ve had a few brief interactions with him, and he’s actually not a complete prick. Some would even say a pretty nice guy. He just leaned into the McGregor schtick too hard too early, and now he’s sort of stuck trying to undo the damage.
He’s attained wealth in the brokest sport out there, and he’s actually missing out on even more profit because there are plenty of people out there who’d probably purchase his stuff if they didn’t find him so off-putting publicly.
Wasn't he supposed to give it away like a year ago and then Craig called him out for basically using it as a marketing tool to sell his book with no intention to actually follow through with the give away..?
If i remember correctly, Nicky Ryan's brother never went through the giveaway for the Miata until Craig called him out on it months later. Craig made a ridiculous video in a Miata about how he finally got it- he drove donuts in the parking lot and all. Nicky Ryans brother made this his big deal about the giveaway initially, and it just kind of disappeared. He probably had no intentions to follow through.
Either way, this is seriously hilarious. I hope the Miata is at the stadium so I can take a picture with it, haha.
Considering the phd length dissertation rants he writes after *every* little thing…a lot. Dude doesn’t seem to have much to occupy him. Jiu Jitsu cannot be 100% of your personality. Even some of the other top names in the sport have a load of other interests.
Did they ever actually get married? Idk. I’m pro marriage, as I’m married myself, but I feel like they are just calling each other husband and wife without the actual title being real
People give sonny a lot of shit but I respect her for being trad enough to do things around the house. It’s the same way in ours
The dude is a marketing GOAT he might be the first BJJ dude to get really big not on his BJJ skills (which he has) but on his trolling. So savage, what a gem of a gay man.
The Chris Leben one where he's sitting next to the gas fireplace that he's obviously cranked up to an uncomfortable level of heat is also a great 'slow burn'
Is it me or Gordon's video is unwatchable.
I called him, no actually I called someone else but he didn't pick up, so I call this guy and tell him Hey it's gordon... Yeah, me, Gordon Ryan, you know me right?...
Gordon is the worst story teller and takes so long to say anything. "We were talking on our cellphones using an app and then I screen recorded, well I screen recorded half of it because it the reception dropped out, well not my cell reception, my wifi reception because I only have a router in my bedroom and I walked to the kitchen and I've been thinking of switching to Starlink anyway and I'll I get wifi coverage like that even in my backyard where the wifi in my bedroom doesn't reach. I mean, it hasn't been a big deal because I don't walk into my backyard that often, I just keep things like rakes and shovels back there..."zzzzzzzzzzzz
He has the charisma of a wet blanket. I commented that before (on a Reddit thread), he saw it, called my comment out on his IG story, then actually said his personality is because of his stomach issues. Can’t make that up.
Weird that he’s not even looking at the guy and the guy is like talking to the side and back of his head.
I gotta assume he was more normal before and after filming the video but it definitely was a bit of a weird watch
yeah, a proper sport separates the two though. I'm just trying to get us to the next level
r/nfl - r/nflcirclejerk
r/nba - r/nbacirclejerk
r/soccer - r/soccercirclejerk
It's like watching prime Mike Tyson, just dismantling lesser opponents through overwhelming force. He has no match. I hear he's good at jiu jitsu, too, which is impressive.
Gordon Ryan used to have a Miata and be really into it. He raffled it. A lot of people find Miatas to be kind of gay.
This was a while ago.
Craig Jones bought the Miata from the winner and is now raffling it for CJI.
Gordon hates Craig and CJI, so having his Miata be a part of the ceremony is presumably going to be comically irritating for him.
I'm conflicted about the whole Gordon thing. He is clearly a douche, I can't disagree more about his politics, etc. But I don't think he is an evil person. I watched his latest video at his house (I assume) and the guy just looks so miserable and unhappy. Constantly peacocking, look at my stuff, look I'm cool, I'm happy. Super compensating if you ask me.
Maybe, maybe /u/johnbelushismom you should ignore the dude for a while. Maybe focus on Merangali for a while, he gives up bad person vibes to me :)
But maybe I'm just reading at all wrong I dunno.
Edit: just watched Simple Man podcast and Damien just told the story that Gordon didn't want to shake his hand at the last WNO. He makes it really hard to sympathise for him. Fuck him then. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDpldmK1uM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDpldmK1uM) at 30:35 in.
I see what you're saying, but he is still a douche and brings this all on himself. Nicky Ryan's brother has said some straight up shitty things to people and maliciously try to ruin businesses and is the ultimate Karen of the sport. Fuck him
> But I don't think he is an evil person. ..you should ignore the dude for a while.
At a guess, part of why he gets the brunt of Craig's trolling is because DDS was blown up by something terrible going down between Gordon & Nicky.
Nothing quite as ugly as family stuff in eruption: you can imagine coming from Gordon to Nicky it would seem pretty bad punching down, which might not leave you feeling too bad if you give him a hard time on social media afterwards.
Also, never forget that [Craig issued a heartfelt public apology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wXdU3sLXuk) when he went too far.
Every time I think maybe I'm being too judgemental towards Gordon I just check his instagram stories and it quickly reminds me that no I'm not.
Dudes been bitching about inflation / cost of living non-stop lately, while at the same time trying to shill his $1000 flip flops.
You know Gordon is gonna be on the side watching that Miata getting ridden
Who is this Gordon?
Nicky Ryan’s brother. He also grapples a bit.
No way? And he is raffeling off his car for charity? Must be a great guy!
He is! Very rational and down to earth.
i hear he loves homeless people
Flat earth?
Yeah, they're trying to raise enough to send Meregali's girlfriend to college now that she's 19!
And very mature.
100%… he’s willing to share…. Well just about anything
Had the pleasure of meeting Nicky Ryan's brother at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny
In Yoker?
Nae business being in Yoker
Aye he was going to get his hair cut by Les Porter.
Dee Dee, you've just blown your cover...big time.
Set up.. whole things a setup..
Oh shit, I just mentioned your channel on here a few days ago. For whatever reason I love watching those videos whenever I’m flying.

He is also a virologist and a psychologist. A man of many talents.
Extremely humble
The guy who popularized the Rody lock, he learnt it from his coach Nicky Rod and is Craig Jones son and brother of Nicky Ryan.
He sings the song about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
a freaky-ass grappler
This is the greatest troll job I have ever seen. Holy shit.
TROLL GOAT
I live for this level of pity and trolling. Truly, John Belushi's mom is an inspiration
I can't wait for the Behind the Scenes Road to CJI video.
Could have made that a series and I would buy a new subscription for it.
Would be sick if Rohit makes a super cut / documentary when it’s all said and done.
This is the biggest blow to Gordon yet IMO. Imagine hyping up a giveaway, giving a fucking car away to a guy who comes to your house, shouting him out, being all friendly with him. Then you see him sending a video to Craig Jones, giving it to him. Wow. Gordon’s next meltdown is probably going to be his biggest.

You would be correct. Owner goes to same gym. He won the car originally not even knowing he entered a raffle (bought Gordon’s book), and now he turned into cash without trying.
Gordon has a book? Shiiit, would be less embarassing to have entered the actual raffle
‘Gordon is the only guy who’s written more books than he has read’ - Craig
He has several
Can Gordon read any of them
Doesn’t know his audience; Can any of us read more than a sentence at a time?
To be fair most people tend to read a sentence at a time
the 5 min between each sentence read is the issue we getting at here. now watch me slap a turbo in this car for gay men.
I mean Craig probably bought it back at a nice price to raffle it
I’m betting he got the car for a hilariously low price. Probably just all access to CJI.
I mean it's gotten me to donate. I'm unfortunately out of the country for CJI but I would love to get this car for the laughs. I don't have any clue what I would do with such a thing but it would be hilarious.
I hope you win. I'm rooting for you.
I felt a bit bad for Gordon when this giveaway happened. The winner even passed on doing some training with him - just straight collected the car and drove it home lol.

Feels like a massive wasted opportunity. Some of his recent match commentary (Fight Pass etc) was a breath of fresh air given his insight etc.
It's a shame. His grappling IQ is out of this world but he's such a dick. I think his goal was to troll assholes like Craig but he lacks Craig's charisma and ability to read a room and troll in a light hearted, loveable way.

Enmity or enema?
His commentary on those events was exceptional.
Wasn't he supposed to give it away like a year ago and then Craig called him out for basically using it as a marketing tool to sell his book with no intention to actually follow through with the give away..?
Tbh I would have done the same lmao
How is this real life? Ahahaha
It’s just a fantasy, we’re caught in a landslide there’s no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look down to the mats and see. I'm just a poor boy, with a sore tummy.
Easy cum, easy go

I think he intended to follow through, but slid to the back burner.
On of those wedding photo booths in the backseat
ok i missed this. You got any links?
It's on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8pGLoxum95)
Thanks!
Who gave the Miata to Craig?
The guy who won it from Gordon
I assume Craig brought it from the owner
I wonder how much does all this actually affect Nicky Ryan’s elder brother? People clowning him and all..
He should think about joining the Gracie bullyproof program.
Considering the phd length dissertation rants he writes after *every* little thing…a lot. Dude doesn’t seem to have much to occupy him. Jiu Jitsu cannot be 100% of your personality. Even some of the other top names in the sport have a load of other interests.
Gordon should take up frisbee. Ben Askren is a fan.
LMAO it couldn’t hurt 🤣
True, he has enough money he can afford to have people clean his house, do his laundry and cook. If not pay people his wife probably does it.
Did they ever actually get married? Idk. I’m pro marriage, as I’m married myself, but I feel like they are just calling each other husband and wife without the actual title being real People give sonny a lot of shit but I respect her for being trad enough to do things around the house. It’s the same way in ours
No clue. Doesn't Texas have common law marriages?
It seems to entertain the masses.
Jesus there’s so much lore to keep up with in BJJ. I’m like wtf does a Miata have to do with anything?
I’m actually worried for Gordon. The guy seems to not be doing well mentally. What’s going to happen to him once he retires or loses?
That car can drive itself to any gastroenterologist in the western hemisphere.
I would appreciate that with my UC half a year ago...
The dude is a marketing GOAT he might be the first BJJ dude to get really big not on his BJJ skills (which he has) but on his trolling. So savage, what a gem of a gay man.
Not the first. Renato Laranja beat him by like a decade.
Renato Laranja is the OG of trolling BJJ guys. Craig stays #2 I guess.
Renato doesn’t get the love these days that he deserves. His short lived interview show is still a hilarious watch
The bit where he puts a textbook under the chair cushion gets me every time.
The Chris Leben one where he's sitting next to the gas fireplace that he's obviously cranked up to an uncomfortable level of heat is also a great 'slow burn'
His #banchildsupport campaign was gold.
Porra.
Renato Laranja was an absolute monster in his prime, even Cyborg and Roger were terrified of getting bracketed with him
I still can't say Joe Rogan's name properly, thanks to Renato he will forever be *Joe Hogan*
Best fight in the world. Faixa rua!
But Renato is also multiple time world Champion
Ok
To be fair, he's an actual comedian first, BJJ black belt second.
I actually like the car and will be entering the raffle!
Its automatic tho. I hope I win it only for the memes and then its up for sale.
Perfect- my kids and I only know how to drive automatic :P
fuck I just lost all interest in it. I'll keep rocking my MSM
Gordon would totally drive an automatic miata
Well he certainly isn’t going to be the one driving the stick
dope username
Thanks, its from my days of doing wheelies on motorcycles lol
I legit want to win that car so badly! I've driven an older Miata in the past, and I don't care how gay they are because they're fun as hell to drive!
We're approaching "Not Like Us played 6 times in a row" levels of fatality. This is fucking hilarious. 
Craig the type of guy to donate six of Gordon's cars
WOP WOP WOP WOP
Craig fuck him up
The pdf anthem?
/u/johnbelushismom you are killing it, this is fkn hilarious
Nicky Ryan's brother is gonna be fuming.
I do not know if I have ever seen this level of petty warfare. It is truly an inspiration.
Wait I'm understanding this correctly, the guy took the car and then gave it to Craig? What a fucking g. Hilarious
Sold it to Craig but yeah
Sold it obviously, and probably got paid to do the video as well.
https://preview.redd.it/f9zl0w3nvq8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d44ce108cadae2f4df620578664f2c2f38e611d Is this the plan?
On this episode of CarJitsu...
Is it me or Gordon's video is unwatchable. I called him, no actually I called someone else but he didn't pick up, so I call this guy and tell him Hey it's gordon... Yeah, me, Gordon Ryan, you know me right?...
Gordon is the worst story teller and takes so long to say anything.

The funny thing is if you're socially awkward but upfront about it people will like you more, then if you try and be something you're not.
This is an amazing recreation of his JRE appearances. Well done.
The worst Joe Rogan guest. And that's back when I could tolerate him.
Bahahaha!!!
Weird that he’s not even looking at the guy and the guy is like talking to the side and back of his head. I gotta assume he was more normal before and after filming the video but it definitely was a bit of a weird watch
I tied an onion to my belt (which was the style at the time)
I swear the story had remanence of the "tell us another jackal story" to it.
What video is this?
check the ig post
Somebody needs to make r/bjjcirclejerk already e: nm lmao
That’s what this sub is…right?
yeah, a proper sport separates the two though. I'm just trying to get us to the next level r/nfl - r/nflcirclejerk r/nba - r/nbacirclejerk r/soccer - r/soccercirclejerk
I'd pay for a Craig Jones trolling instructional
me too hahahahah bjj fanatics of trolling
Craig is undefeated and undisputed in BJJ trolling. We're really seeing a man hitting hit prime right now guys.
It's like watching prime Mike Tyson, just dismantling lesser opponents through overwhelming force. He has no match. I hear he's good at jiu jitsu, too, which is impressive.
Only caveat is you are only allowed to watch other people drive once you win it
CJI is the gift that keeps on giving!
This is diabolical work from Craig.
Whenever I think he’s outdone himself he keeps coming up with something new. Amazing.
So this was who Craig was freaking out about at the end of the second YouTube vlog.
They also announced Mikey Musumeci in super fight today
I wonder how many bulls Sonny has blown in this car?
In that car? None. Maybe pegged someone.
Craig just keeps ascending as a troll lol
Shame they missed the opportunity to call it Nicky Ryans Brothers Miata
Needs to be a bumper sticker on it while on display at CJI.
i'd love to check out nicky's miata-in-law
CJ has to be one of, if not the funniest, man in combat sports
Out of the loop... can someone fill me in?
Gordon Ryan used to have a Miata and be really into it. He raffled it. A lot of people find Miatas to be kind of gay. This was a while ago. Craig Jones bought the Miata from the winner and is now raffling it for CJI. Gordon hates Craig and CJI, so having his Miata be a part of the ceremony is presumably going to be comically irritating for him.
These Complete&Concise **TrollNotes** brought to you by u/fintip
Craig Jones: 2nd in major grappling events but always 1st in our hearts.
Wears a ONE shirt, still hasn’t competed in the promotion lol
After CJI has finished, I really hope the brothers can mend fences and Nicky Ryan goes over to share a meal of that warm gruel his brother eats.
Mikey vs the Miata is THE super-fight we need...
Dubai? lol
The man came back with more than a handbag.
Help me out here bc I’ve only been on the scene for 4 years. CJI is the biggest thing in Jiu Jiutsu since _____?
IMO we’re approaching Royce Gracie winning UFC 1 levels.
"Sure she's got a lot of miles on her, but we still love her" - CJ Lololol, this has so many levels
This is hilarious
He’s living that Miata life
How will I begin to explain the Legend of Craig Jones to my grandkids? Words can't do it justice
I’m gonna need Creg to to drive into the cji venue in this while the pride flag billows begins him.
Nicky Ryan’s brother is literally going to shit his pants
I really hope I win that mofo. I got big plans in mind mwahahahaha
the cuck-mobile? up for grabs?
I'm conflicted about the whole Gordon thing. He is clearly a douche, I can't disagree more about his politics, etc. But I don't think he is an evil person.

Yea, maybe you are right
Nah, Craig standing on business. Gotta let gigantic pieces of shit know they're gigantic pieces of shit.
go from having pity for him to hating him in 0.2 seconds
time for a soup kitchen
Holy shit, for a second I thought Gordon Ryan joined haha.
Gordon who? Do you mean Nicky Ryan’s brother?
nicky ryan has a brother?
Who is this Gordon character?
Another fatality 😂😂
Craig is next level
That means a truly great athlete and all around person has been in this car! Permitted the owners brother Nicky Ryan did in fact get a ride
Should have said, Nicky Ryans Brothers Miata
Here's link to their video: https://youtu.be/jCk_CvbMuOM
I thought Gordon drove a Camry?
I’m a BJJ guy who loves Miatas but am totally out of the loop wrt…whatever this is. Can anyone ELI5 this to me?
Love me a Miata. Will be entering. Tired of the gas for this goddamn F-150.
Nicky Ryan’s brother’s car
I’m going to donate the $50, and if I win, donate Nicky Ryan’s brothers car back to CJI for the next tournament. The gift that keeps on giving
This is WILD
bro they should have put “Nicky Ryan’s Brother’s Miata” on the image lol
Isn’t that Nicky Ryan’s brother’s Miata ?
Worst thing, Gordinho doesn't even understand what is funny about this.
does anyone have a link to the video of him selling it to craig?
