The legendary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Gordon Ryan, has provided an update on his health and declared that he would soon regain his previous physique.

About a week ago, the BJJ legend shared a picture on his IG story, where he claimed to be looking “half dead”. However, he took up the reins of strong motivation and declared that he would be back soon enough, as he shared one of his jacked pictures on Instagram. The fans rushed to the comments section and expressed themselves as soon as the post hit the social media platform. While many fans were left in splits about the fighter using Trenbolone, Mark Coleman stood in support of Ryan and declared him to be a ‘King’.
