Gordon Ryan has launched a savage assault on Ffion Davies after she announced she’s temporarily stepping back from competition due to mental health struggles. The King has absolutely destroyed Davies on social media, calling her out for what he sees as weakness and inconsistency.
The drama exploded when Davies revealed she’s taking a break from competing and social media due to recent struggles with online harassment and mental health issues. Instead of showing support, Gordon Ryan went nuclear, blasting her for making what he called a “social media cry for help.”
Ryan’s attack centers on Davies pulling out of ADCC (reportedly wanting more money) and her lack of interest in competing at CJI 2, despite having a UFC contract exemption that would allow her to participate. Gordon sees this as Davies being inconsistent – complaining about opportunities while simultaneously turning them down.
The beef has split the grappling community, with many calling out Gordon’s lack of empathy toward a fellow elite athlete dealing with mental health challenges.
