What can leave Gordon Ryan terrified on the mats? It is not any grappler that we know of, but it is, according to him a fun a and terrifying night of training Jiu-Jitsu and rolling with two of the world’s strongest men in Thor ‘The Mountain” Bjornsson and Martins Licis.
Gordon “King” Ryan seems to have had quite a unique experience the night before his first appearance at the UFC On Fight Pass Invitational in their third professional event. It turns out that a night of rolling with huge strongmen, in Thor Bjornsson and Martins Licis both left Gordon Ryan terrified and satisfied.
According o the GOAT’s Instagram account:
“I had the most fun and also more terrifying night of my life tonight 😂. I taught @martinslicis and @thorbjornsson a jiu jitsu private and also trained with both of them at the end. It was a great night hanging with the world strongest men and also the world’s nicest men. Happy to have met these 2 and I can’t wait to lift with them one day. Yes there is footage”

“The Mountain” wished Gordon luck in his upcoming match against substitute Nicky Rodriguez, who steps in for the injured Vinny Magalhaes in a comment reply to Ryan’s post:
“Great meeting you and kick ass tomorrow champ!”
It seems that having Gordon Ryan terrified was neither the goal of Thor, nor his take on how their rolling session went, saying he was humbled, as the strongman shared footage of the rolls on his Instagram account:
“Literally went against the best and got humbled quite badly. @martinslciis and I got the opportunity to meet up with @gordonlovesjiujitsu while he was doing his last workout before he competes tomorrow. I love trying out new sport and what a pleasure it was. Excited to watch Gordon crush his opponent tomorrow! This guy is next level!”
