Gordon Ryan returned to competition on July 14, in a bout for the vacant Who’s Number One (WNO) heavyweight title – against Pedro Marinho. Having dominated essentially the entire match, Gordon ultimately submitted Marinho with a Rear Naked Choke.
After the match had ended, Gordon thanked Marinho for the match and gave him props for defending so soundly. He also revealed to the audience that he predicted a Smother Choke finish, and that this was the reason why he went for this submission so vicariously.
