Gordon Ryan had his eyes glued to the fight between Craig Jones and his former opponent, Felipe Pena, as the two faced each other in the main event of UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4. However, Pena?s loss by fastest escape in overtime made Ryan put forth his opinion on social media.

Pena and Ryan were set to land against each other, prior to Pena?s victory over Nicky Rodriguez. However, the five-time ADCC world champion had to pull out owing to his bad health. The BJJ practitioners slammed each other quite a few times on the internet and garnered a lot of attention.

After Pena?s loss, Ryan took to IG stories and sent a message to the BJJ universe. He wrote, ?Just to be clear, the pena we all saw last night, the guy who lost to someone who?s never won anything, THATS the guys who you think I?m scared of and is gonna beat me? That?s your last hope??
