After Cutting USADA Down to Size, Gordon Ryan and Jeff Novitzky Send Promotion?s Ex-Drug Testing Partners a Message at UFC 295

The submission phenom, Gordon Ryan, is perhaps one of the most celebrated grapplers in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu. Ryan was present for the UFC 295 event at Madison Square Garden, along with big wigs like Donald Trump and Kid Rock. UFC 295 had people talking about the insane finishes. But there was something else that grabbed the attention of fans after the event.

Gordan Ryan posted a picture with Jeff Novitzky in his post with the caption, “Say YES to high test. (cross) to @usantidoping”. It was quite funny, as Ryan doesn’t seem to be USADA’s biggest fan. And his fans took no time to fill the comment section.

Fans react to Gordon Ryan trolling USADA with Jeff Novitzky

There are certainly plenty of speculations about Ryan using performance-enhancing substances and he doesn’t deny it, as he once stated in an interview, “Steroids aren’t illegal in Jiu-Jitsu”. It’s also not a secret that the ‘King’ is not a big fan of USADA’s testing. And it’s pretty obvious that USADA parting ways with the UFC is making him a very happy man after his recent post on Instagram.

Ryan intended his recent post with Jeff Nocitzky to troll USADA and the fans were having every bit of it. Fans went to the comment section to give Gordon Ryan his props for trolling the drug testing agency. Here are some of the comments from the post:

“This wins the Internet today”

“Would you ever consider fighting in the ufc maybe a top dawg in ur weight division ?”

“Testosterone heals the male body exponentially faster doesn’t it?”

“I told you, join the UFC AND YOU DOMINATE”

“What a troll elf hilarious”

“Troll of the year”

“I’m waiting for the pic of The King and The president throw Tucker Carlson in there and it’ll break the internet”

There were some people in the comment section who wanted Gordan Ryan to test himself inside the Octagon. Even went as far as saying that he would “DOMINATE” the UFC competition. But how would he fare against top competition in the UFC?

What are the possibilities of the ‘King’ joining the UFC?

Now that USADA is out of the picture, some fight fans are speculating about Gordon Ryan joining the UFC roster. However, Ryan seems less interested in competing in MMA, which is not surprising as he is dominating the Jiu-Jitsu scene.

Ryan has, however, made teases, helping out MMA fighters prepare for fights. The most recent being him seen helping Jon Jones prepare for his fight against Stipe Miocic. Gordon Ryan is an absolute unit when it comes to grappling but the question of credibility lies within his standup.

Gordon Ryan would definitely hold his own in the UFC, given his talent in grappling. But he probably won’t be as successful amongst the higher competition in the promotion with just his grappling. Do you think he would find the same success in the UFC as he did in Jiu-Jitsu? Or would he succumb to more well-rounded fighters? Let us know in the comment section below.
