Giancarlo Bodoni Is Going To Replace Gordon Ryan At WNO 21 Match Against Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa
Recently, it has been revealed that Giancarlo Bodoni is going to replace Gordon Ryan at the WNO 21 match against Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa. Previously, it was scheduled between Gordon Ryan vs Barbosa.
Bodoni is an excellent substitute for Ryan, partly because he has competed against Barbosa numerous times. Barbosa is ahead in the series, having won 4 out of their six bouts. However, Bodoni snatched the most recent success in a match.
FloGrappling was the first to broadcast this news.
Previously, Gordon Ryan had withdrawn from this match. The reason was his sudden injury during the BJJ practice session. Ryan disclosed the incident in a post on social media:
A few days ago, in training, I was performing back escapes and badly popped my rib after a misdirectional escape.
After some time trying to train with it, myself and the team decided it was best to go ahead and reschedule the current matches that are planned.
Ryan won’t be participating, but he will not be absent from the events either:
In other words, I won’t be competing until next year, but I will be at the events to see all my amazing supporters and coach my team.
Sorry everyone, this is just a part of the game.
