He's a really nice guy and he's literally never trained without a gi before.

He's, for those of you who don't know, Nicholas Mirigali is one of the outstanding gi jiu-jitsu competitors of his generation.

Has an amazing game and is a superstar with the gi side of the sport, but had never even trained without a gi once in his life.

So his first ever no-gi training session is with Gordon Ryan, the best no-gi competitor of all time.

And I remember Gordon texting me saying, hey, he's really talented, he's a nice guy, and he wants to come down to Texas and train.

So I was like, yeah, sounds great.

So over time, just more and more people started coming in.

And I told everyone, like, you guys are at a severe disadvantage.

Like, you've got very little time to get ready for ADCC.

Luke

wasn't even in ADCC, he had to win trials.

Same for Dan Manasoi, he'd failed at trials and needed to get a win to even get into ADCC.

So around this time, a doctor suggested by Mo Jasim, who had himself had stomach issues earlier in his life, began working with Gordon Ryan.

And- And Mo's the organizer of ADCC.

Yes.

For people who don't know.

Yeah, he's the head organizer.

He was able to get Gordon Ryan not cured, but significantly better than he was before.

And to a level where Gordon could train up to five to six days a week.

And that was a big improvement on what was going on during the end of the time in Puerto Rico.
