Gordon Ryan explained at the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3 event [https://youtu.be/aI205q3G3PA], “Oh yeah, that was my ankle. I was trying to switch to a Fifty-Fifty Heel Hook, and I wasn’t respecting his [Rodriguez’s] mechanics, because I know he doesn’t do Leg Locks that much.” Furthermore, the victorious Ryan tried to explain his strategy and the consequent events.
