Gordon Ryan vs. Damian Maia no-gi, who would win?

[MoreKane]

who wins?

 

[HuskySamoan]

who wins?

Gordon Ryan has an easy 20+lbs on Maia and is ontop of his game and athletic prime while Maia is 43 and shopworn? Even if they were both in their primes, Gordon Ryan.

Right this minute? Probably Gordon.

 

[Ishaq]

Gordon way too big and specialist.

 

[BJJ_Rage]

Gordon is objectively a better grappler for grappling... I think there shouldn’t be a question. About this

 

[HuskySamoan]

This is now a Maia vs Rickson thread, wait a Gokor vs Rickson thread.

Maia was awesome but I can’t ever recall his name in the GOAT talk in either gi or nogi, at this point it’s really hard to not have Ryan in the top three no gi amd likely number one. Add in age like everyone else is saying and it’s gotta be Ryan.

 

[Kforcer]

I certainly wouldn't count a prime Jacare out against Gordon Ryan, myself. And Maia did beat Jacare.

 

[Calibur]

I think Gordon dusts him in a couple of minutes.

I bet you Gordon is crap at MMA and I still think he'd do well against Maia in that.

Maia’s legacy is how well he has been able to integrate his jiujitsu into MMA, not how incredibly especially high-level his particular jiujitsu game is.

In a pure jiujitsu match, Gordon most likely dismantles Maia with relative ease.

Gordon also probably gets destroyed by Maia in a bareknuckle boxing match. Context is everything.

 

[Solidus Snake]

Gordon takes it pretty easily
