The ADCC World Championship is one of the most prestigious events in Jiu-Jitsu and winning a championship is an incredible achievement.
Athletes who win multiple times are considered legends in the sport. André Galvão is still the only person to have won six ADCC World Championships, but Gordon Ryan is hot on his heels.
Ryan can join the sixth-place club if he wins just one of his two superfights at the 2024 ADCC World Championship.
Ryan will also face another multiple ADCC World Championship winner, Yuri Simões, in one of the superfights in Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena.
