Gordon Ryan on Andre Galvao: ‘He’s mediocre everywhere’

 

“Now [Galvao] has to actually show up,” Ryan said. “He’s in a kind of tough spot, if he shows up he’s gonna get submitted and if he doesn’t show up then everyone is gonna think he’s a loser and he’s afraid.”

“It was pretty much how I thought it was gonna go,” Ryan said. “I didn’t expect Felipe to break mentally that fast and get exhausted like he did, probably because he was partying in Mykonos like two weeks before he had to go to ADCC so that was probably a big part of it, because he’s an unprofessional s***bag.”

Ryan then commented on Galvao’s strengths and weaknesses as an opponent.

He’s not really impressive anywhere besides the fact that he has good cardio, he keeps going, and that’s really about it. His jiu-jitsu is not great. He has really good quality of movement, he moves his body well. He can move fast in and out, he can move fast side to side, he can invert, he can do all the stuff you need. But technically, in the standing position he doesn’t look great, his hand fighting is not great. His shots are okay, not great. His submission wrestling is terrible… Guard isn’t great. Passing is atrocious. He’s mediocre everywhere besides the fact that he’s tactically good, physically intimidating for most people, and that’s pretty much about it.
