In his match since October 2023, Gordon Ryan reminded BJJ fans why he's known as one of the greatest no-gi grapplers ever at WNO 24 on June 20 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas. 

Ryan was challenged by an ADCC Asia & Oceania Trials champion Josh Saunders in his first match since WNO Night of Champions. With the WNO Heavyweight title on the line, Ryan used a heel hook submission to defeat Saunders with 6:27 left in the match. 

Ryan will now continue training for ADCC Worlds 2024 in Las Vegas. Ryan is still dealing with stomach issues that have kept him out for most of 2023 and 2024. 

WNO 24 is the third Who's Number One of 2024 and one of the last major events before the ADCC World Championships on Aug. 17 and 18 in Las Vegas. The WNO 24 card features 10 current ADCC Trials champions and 12 overall.
