Tye Ruotolo has called out Gordon Ryan for the same deal he had against Felipe Pena. The response was a little different than what he had probably expected.
Tye seems to have taken a note straight out of Gordon Ryan’s book recently, calling him out for a no-time-limit grappling match. He originally took to social media to ask for the same deal that Felipe Pena had with Gordon.
Felipe was offered a no-time limit grappling match against Gordon, whereby Gordon put down $100k, and Felipe had to put down $10k. This came about after Felipe beat Gordon two times beforehand. The fight went ahead and lasted 45 mins before Felipe eventually tapped out.
So now Tye wants a similar deal.
“Remember that darce at modolfo? It would be competitive now, and I’m 19 and natural. I guarantee you retire before I gain 15 pounds. Pure facts, no ill intent. Let’s do the same deal you did with Pena. No time limit.”
Gordon saw Tye’s Instagram and replied:
“How about you put up your 50k win bonus from ONE and I’ll put up my same 100k that I did with pena? 2-1 odds no time limit. Just remember, I’m not Josh hinger, and you couldn’t beat him.”
Ruotolo fired back:
“So you don’t have the same confidence with me as you did Pena, interesting. I’m not worried about the numbers will figure that out. We know all the organizations any one of them will host this, no time limit.”
Gordon Ryan Wants to Take on Both Ruotolo Brothers
In true Gordon Ryan style, he upped the ante… rather than offering out just Tye, he decided to offer out BOTH brothers, one after the other! Here is Gordon’s full response:
“The truth is- I like the kids. They were the only ones from atos who kept their words when we had the issue with the modolfo camp filming. They even went against their professor and kept their word to Mo, I respect that. That’s why I never attacked them and even kept my mouth shut when Kade said I couldn’t heel hook him, but now since I’ve been formally called out, I’ll address it, as always. Tye called me out asking for the same 10-1 odds I gave pena. First of all, at this point, any grappler is LUCKY to even have me mention them, nevermind step on a mat with them. They get more press and more money facing me than they could doing ANYTHING else in their broke athlete lives. I offered tye 2-1 odds- his 50k ONE bonus, vs my 100k, which is a gift since he should be paying me to step on the mat with me seeing as he hasn’t won a single tournament of note at black belt (yet). He disregarded that comment and went into a rant about how money doesn’t matter and how I wasn’t confident enough to give him those odds. If the money didn’t matter why are you asking for 10-1 odds? And you’re talking about my confidence while simultaneously asking for 10-1 odds? Ha. In addition, you don’t think I have the confidence to fight the kid who lost 1st round to JOSH FUCKING HINGER? The debatably worst grapple of all time😂. You couldn’t make it out of the 1st round at ADCC and lost to someone who seems to not know a single move, and you have my name in your mouth ? That’s funny. You could always admit that match was fake, but then you’d be banned from ADCC🤷🏻♂️. OK, so since you’re so under confident In your abilities, I’ll offer 2-1 odds. How about both of the kids put up both of their 50k bonuses from ONE, 100K dollars, and I will put up 200k dollars for 2-1 in a no time limit sub only match. I will fight you both back to back, you pick the order. After match 1 we will mop the mats, I’ll change gear so the mats don’t instantly get wet again, then we walk out for match 2, no break. 2 vs 1 100k vs 200k. Put your money where your mouth is, or shut your fucking mouth 😘. PS- If you’re looking to accuse someone of juice, how bout starting with your friends that fail drug tests”
The stake is $200k vs the Ruotolos $100k – either way, watching this would be something very special! The Ruotolo bros are signed exclusively to ONE Championship, so whether it’ll happen will be interesting.
Do you think it’ll go ahead? If it did, who is winning?
