Ryan, now 8-0 on Tezos WNO, last encountered the Hulk in the semifinal at ADCC 2019, a match that went down to the wire before Ryan scored the last-minute go-ahead points to clinch victory en route to his second ADCC title.

Hulk, who won the bronze medal at ADCC 2019, returned to take silver in the 88kg division at ADCC in 2022 in his last major outing.

In calling out Gordon Ryan, Hulk said:

"You know very well I was your toughest match at ADCC to this day, so I would like to challenge you to a match on the next Who's Number One."
