AJ Agazarm likes to escalate things when people tease him. He quickly a “soft” comment from Gordon Ryan on one of his recent Facebook posts from zero to 100 in no time by making it very personal in his reply to the “King”.
AJ Agazarm is a very polarizing person, with most people in the BJJ world choosing to hate him rather than love him. Strangely, while people buy in the bad-boy trash-talker persona Gordon Ryan has going on, they do not at all enjoy AJ’s interpretation of it.
In a recent post that AJ Agzarm made on his Facebook page, he shared an old photo of him competing as a brown belt, captioning it:
“The object of jiu-jitsu is a lot like golf – be sharp, tactical, and do the least amount as possible”.
Gordon Ryan was quick to respond, teasing AJ Agazarm by writing:
“Also to win, you forgot that part.”
AJ was very quick to respond and did not pick his words too much, or he did so extremely carefully if making it very personal was his goal. His response to Gordon’s tease was:
“Oh yeah, even if that means destroying your stomach and a relationship with your brother.”
AJ Agazarm is referring to the complicated chronic stomach illness that Gordon Ryan has which has interfered with his performances in the past, even forcing the “King” to retire from competition for a year.
The second comment hits a lot closer to home, with John Danaher recently citing arguments between Gordon and younger brother Nicky Ryan back when they lived in Puerto Rico as the main reason for the disbandment of the Danaher Death Squad. The brothers now fight for opposing teams, Gordon on Danaher’s New Wave Jiu-Jitsu and Nicky choosing to side with Craig Joens and his B-Team.
We’ll see where this online exchange between AJ Agazarm and Gordon Ryan will lead, and whether it will turn into a new feud.
