Gordon Ryan vs. Felipe Pena: Who Really Won BJJ's Biggest Rivalry?

Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena is the biggest rivalry in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ADCC history. Four matches across eight years, from a quiet gym in Solana Beach to a sold-out ADCC 2024 superfight at T-Mobile Arena, this documentary covers the full story of two of the greatest no-gi grapplers ever to compete. Gordon Ryan, "The King" of the Danaher Death Squad and New Wave Jiu-Jitsu, built one of the most dominant records in ADCC history. Felipe Pena, ADCC World Champion and the only man to ever submit Gordon Ryan at black belt, remains the one opponent Gordon's system never fully solved. ========================================================= GIVEAWAY (CLOSED) ========================================================= I've personally used BJJ Notes since 2024, I note everything I did after every single session, and you should too, if you want fast improvement!
