Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu superstar Gordon Ryan presented a job offer to Dillon Danis a couple of weeks ago. Danis recently pulled out of a boxing match against YouTube superstar KSI just 10 days before that match was scheduled to happen. There was a huge build-up to the match between the YouTube star and the undefeated Jiu-jitsu black belt, Dillon Danis. But he had revealed at the last minute that didn’t have anyone to coach him. He had been traveling from gym to gym, sparring with various fighters. He also claimed that he was not aware whether the match with KSI was a professional fight or an exhibition showcase.

KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, explained the situation and stated that Dillon Danis informed him about the situation and mentioned that there will be a replacement fighter.

BJJ superstar has a job offer for Dillon Danis

Submission grappling legend Gordon Ryan appeared in the post-fight press conference at the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3, a couple of weeks ago. Reporters asked him about Dillon Danis boxing KSI to which he said, “He’s a master of staying relevant without actually doing anything. It’s incredible!”

The 27-year-old BJJ superstar also made a job offer to Danis of washing his cars if the boxing match didn’t work out. Ryan said, “He sent me a clip the other day of a clip of Chael Sonnen saying he’s the real deal. If this doesn’t work out [boxing KSI], I have tons of cars, you can clean those for me. I have like five cars, clean those and I’ll give you $30 a week.”

Fans react to Ryan’s Instagram jibe at Danis

Gordon Ryan took to Instagram and posted a screenshot reminding Danis that the job “offer still stands” if he wanted it. He captioned his post: “I have a j0b opening for him.” Ryan also mentioned that he had six cars now.

Fans have reacted to this post and made some rather funny remarks about the situation:

  • I don’t think he can do the math, might have to help him with that too
  • At this point it’s actually a legit offer.
  • Christmas Bonus is he gets to pose with the cars for the gram
  • Be careful, he’s the type of guy you wanna give the money to after the cars are washed
  • He would probably no call no show if you hired him honestly
  • Gordon Ryan, Giving back to the community.
  • He would probably no call no show if you hired him honestly
  • Nah he’s gonna pull out of that too. Better book a backup just in case

While many fans claimed that it was a legitimate offer, many believed that Danis would ‘no-show’ even at this job if he was hired. Some fans even commented that Ryan was overpaying Danis for the car-wash job.
