Craig Jones and Gordon Ryan Drama!

From Brothers on the Mat... to Enemies in the Same City.

They trained together. Won together. Laughed together.

Now? They won’t even look at each other.

I still remember when DDS (established in 2011) ruled the world of grappling. Gordon Ryan, Eddie Cummings, Craig Jones, Garry Tonon, Nicky Ryan, Nicky Rod, and other grapplers were trained under John Danaher.

The team was united on one mission: smash everyone who dared to compete in no-gi competitions. These tough grapplers implemented and nailed never-before-seen and innovative attacking systems, such as the leg-lock systems, to defeat every opponent.

And yes, they appeared unbeatable. But after a few years, the DDS team split, and all that success vanished as if it had never happened.

This split raised a messy tension between Craig Jones and Gordon Ryan. Here’s what happened!
