Gordon Ryan is about to start engaging in legal battles with a business partner whom he trusted to lead his website and all sales going through it, according to a post the “King” made on his Instagram account. Ryan claims that at the moment he has no control over more than $100.000 worth of merchandise.
The undisputed best grappler in the world, Gordon Ryan is having some serious financial and logistical trouble off the mats. His brand, built around the Gordon “King” Ryan persona, is taking a massive hit as one of Ryan’s “friends”, who was responsible for his website and all of his merchandise is refusing to allow the ADCC star access to his site or his products.
In an Instagram video, Ryan stated that the person in charge of taking orders and fulfilling them through his website has stopped all activities, and refuses to allow Ryan or anyone else access to the site. The merchandise in question, in the form of Ryan’s book, supplements, and the like, stored in a Texas storage unit is also inaccessible to anyone.
In the video, Gordon states: “I have to address something unfortunate, I’m not going to go into too much detail right now. I had a ‘friend of mine‘ who asked me to help build a website for me to get the books out, sell the supplements, and stuff like that.
Long story short, there’s been an internal dispute and it now turns out that I have no access to my website, merchandise, supplements, books, or anything related to my website. He has yet to hand over the keys to the website or anything. I literally have no control over this.”

In the caption of the post, Gordon went on to apologize to fans who have ordered and asked all other fans not to order anything, until he gets things sorted out in court and makes a new website. He also promised to make it up to his fans once everything is sorted out:
“I am sorry to everyone that may have ordered something from my website. I have no control over my website or my merch/supps/books. The guy who was supposed to run it all for me has declined to give me the website info and access to the merchandise so this is all out of my control for the moment. A deep apology to the fans and I promise I’ll make this up to you guys♥️. For now stop buying stuff from my website because you’re order won’t come. I’m sorry guys.”
