Kevin is legit, how the hell do people call not legit a guy his a B.B. under Rickson has been in some pretty good grappling matches and done Mma to some successful degree... I believe he even fought in the UFC...

Years ago he did give himself a black belt, but apparently he made up with Rickson and is a legit black belt now. I think the reason so many people are against him is because he's been doing clownish things in the bjj world for a while now. To be honest the things he's done are much worse than Gordan Ryan.
How the hell can people look up to a juiced up moron like Gordon???
on his lil instagram thing the other day he said casey backed out but an ADCC champ wants to take his place, anybody know who?
Another example of Gordan talking shit but refusing to compete unless the rules are 100% in his favor. DJ Jackson has been challenging him for months noting that he has beaten many of his teammates under multiple rulesets. He ducks him by refusing to compete against him unless it is EBI rules or Sub only No time limit. Now he talks shit about Kevin Casey saying he will TKO him in a slap boxing fight. Casey then challenges him to MMA which again,Gordan refuses. GTFOH....
Dj is the definition of a grappler no one wants to watch, he does not get much attention because he’s boring as fuck to watch, simple. The day dj wins a an ascc title he will be consider on the same league as Gordon, right now, he’s not
Also FWIW I think Spencer Pratt is entertaining on Instagram, and given the time he spends training with Edwin Najmi would probably tap a lot of people shit talking him and the character he plays.
DJ is not boring to watch to hard core BJJ enthusiasts who appreciate aspects of grappling other than submissions.DJ is exceptional at takedowns and guard passing. Do you think Murillo Santana is boring as well? Personally I get bored watching hour long submission only matches like the hour long Keenan vs Gordan match.
Winning ADCC was a huge accomplishment and Gordon surprised the hell out of me with his performance that day. That said, you can't say DJ isn't on the same level because of that one day when you compare their bodies of work and opponents,DJ is far more accomplished. DJ has won Worlds in Gi from Purple to Brown. Gordan has yet to medal at Worlds at any belt. DJ has also won No GI Worlds at every Belt including Black Belt. Gordan has failed to win No Gi Worlds at any belt.Yes Gordan has won some EBIs but DJ has won Copa Podio(to date the first American to do so). Understand that these submission only/EBI competitions lack the same level of talent as ADCC,IBJJF, and Copa Podio. Just this past weekend I saw a 10th Planet guy that was called elite for years lose 29-0 in his first match.
Gordon doesn’t even compete in the gi, no gi, dj is not on Gordon’s level, you get there when you win adcc, Gordon is part of the elite.
Dj is boring as hell, plain and simple, why do you think people doesn’t like to watch him compete? How did he do the last time he went vs a wrestler of his caliber? Remember him vs Rustam?
There are lots of guys who based their game on passing and playing guard and are no sub machines, like lo for example, but why isn’t Leandro seen as a bored grappler and dj is... and please don’t bring some racial crap involve into this...
What ever happened to the sexual assault allegation against dj? Is there still a warrant out for his arrest?
