I don't think so. I don't think so. Is that something you tried? Me and Gordon don't text each other too often. I tag him on Instagram and things, but he doesn't respond. Tell me about your history with Nicholas Merigali. My history with Nicholas Merigali. Actually, it dates back to a time where probably he does not even remember. Back when I used to wear a kimono. So I went to Abu Dhabi World Pro.

This was the last year they did the absolute. I went into the absolute. I made it all the way to the semis. Nicholas Merigali destroyed me in the gi. I did hit a nice little reversal on him though.

He passed my guard and I somehow reversed him from side control. That's the only part of the match I share, after which he swept me, submitted me.

And I had two teammates at the time that were in my 88.
