BJJ GOAT Gordon Ryan is not one to shy away from the limelight. Despite his spectacular record in Jiu-Jitsu, Ryan has a long history of lashing out at individuals online, earning him a reputation as a verbal bulldozer. One of his most prominent targets is none other than UFC superstar Conor McGregor‘s friend Dillon Danis, whom the 27-year-old has ripped out on various occasions.
However, it seems that Ryan is always looking for the next person to take down a peg or two. His ability to ruffle feathers and get under people’s skin is something of an art form, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. And most recently, his navigation has shifted to even bigger names as he recently made a snide remark on none other than the LA Lakers star LeBron James over a cryptic Instagram post he shared.

This statement created a stir on the internet and grabbed the attention of BJJ’s ‘King’, Gordon Ryan, who quickly took to his Instagram story to reflect on the basketball star’s bold remarks. Ryan wrote, “-the guy who would get wrecked by a blue belt”, making it clear that he did not take kindly to James’ post.
However, this is not the first time that Ryan has trolled LeBron James.
