With a call-out for a 10-minute match by Nicky Rodriguez, after winning the open-weight tournament at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4, all eyes went toward Ryan. The beef between Rodriguez and Ryan had been brewing for quite a while now. Ryan has also attacked Rodriguez and accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs on multiple occasions.

He took to Instagram stories and wrote, ?You barely beat Roberto, a guy I called my sub on, had a war with vagner, a guy i called my sub on, got your arm broken by a junior, literally did next to no jj in regulation, and you have my name in your mouth? Stfu. We fight in a tournament, where you make no money and gain no relevance off my name for losing to me, again, and you put your own money up when it happens. I make the rules, and I am jiu jitsu. Don?t beg anymore, it looks ugly.?
