Simoes won his first ADCC Championship nine years ago in 2015 and has since won ADCC World titles in 2017 and in 2022 and done so in three different weight classes (-88KG, -99KG and Absolute). In 2017, won the Absolute championship in 2017.

Why Gordon Ryan vs. Felipe Pena Is A Big Deal
The one submission loss was by rear naked choke eight years ago by none other than Felipe Pena. The submission loss has fueled the Pena-Ryan rivalry ever since. Pena has a 2-1 record against Ryan, having won by submission and again by points at the 2017 ADCC World Championship.
Ryan defeated Pena in 2022 at WNO 14 via a verbal tap. The two were scheduled to meet again in 2023, but Ryan’s stomach illness forced him to cancel the match. The wait for Ryan vs. Pena 4 ends on Aug. 17.
