Possible heat with Team McGregor
With the relationship of McGregor and Dillon Danis, one would assume that Ryan’s services are being aimed in the direction of Team Chandler.
Ryan has said that Danis always seems to have something to say yet never bothers to back it up with any action.
This appears to be Ryan’s biggest issue, because Danis loves telling the world what he’s going to do but since 2019, he hasn’t actually done anything.
With Gordon Ryan recently mocking Danis over pulling out of his proposed bout with YouTuber come celebrity boxer KSI, it appears that a compromise is unlikely.
King Gordon Ryan a Valuable Addition
Gordon Ryan is the best pound for pound no-gi jiu-jitsu practitioner in the world.
With Ryan recently signing a seven-figure deal with FloSports, a figure that is almost unheard of in BJJ. With a upcoming bout with Felipe Pena scheduled for February 25th.
Although it appears that Ryan is willing to share his expertise to the The Ultimate Fighter 31 on ESPN.
The date and location for the 170-pound Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler showdown is unknown at this time.
Although it is stated that, TUF 31 will debut on May 30, 2023, and finish on Aug. 15, 2023.
