Listen "Gordon Ryan's back as The King returns to action ahead of ADCC"

Episode Synopsis

Gordon Ryan is back. The king of no gi grappling will compete against Josh Saunders at Who's Number One on June 20. It will be Gordon's first match since October 2023 and serve as a warm-up for August's ADCC where he is set to compete in a superfight against Yuri Simoes and also the +99kg division.

Gordon has been out of competition due to health issues, so it will be interesting to see how he looks, ahead of his quest for double gold. How will the match go and can Josh claim a huge upset victory? Ross and Calum discuss the contest in-depth on the latest Jiu Jitsu Oracle.

They also analyse the rosters as they stand in the ADCC and Craig Jones Invitational, two rival grappling events happening on the same weekend - possibly the biggest weekend in grappling history. It's an exciting time to be a fan of jiu jitsu / BJJ / submission grappling (whatever you want to call it...).
