Next assignment: After a great weekend in England, where Garry Tonon defeated time world champion Gilbert Burns via , it's to NYC for four days of getting Gordon Ryan ready for EBI 9 in Los Angeles California. Mr Ryan has been training diligently in the shadow of Mr Tonon's big show at Polaris, but now takes center stage on the training mats for this heavyweight event where he will be by far the smallest competitor. We are headed to Heathrow now then back to the mats in NYC Great to the burgeoning BJJ scene in The UK and the rising success of a professional league – Polaris – this bodes well for the future of British and European grappling.
