Okay, so I was just scrolling online the other day, watching some grappling highlights, you know how it is. And Gordon Ryan pops up, dude’s everywhere in the BJJ scene, right? Made me think, how old is this guy actually? He seems like he’s been dominating forever, but also looks kinda young sometimes. Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to figure it out.

My Little Search Mission
First thing I did was grab my laptop. Didn’t feel like squinting at my phone screen. Opened up my usual browser, the one I always use, nothing fancy.
Typed in the search bar, pretty straightforward: “gordon ryan age”. Hit enter and waited for the magic to happen. You get a ton of results instantly, of course. News articles, fan pages, maybe some interviews.
I skimmed the first few lines that popped up. Saw a few different numbers mentioned, sometimes just the birth year. That’s common, happens a lot when you search for famous people’s ages. Websites don’t always update the exact age daily, they just list the date of birth.
- Saw his birth date mentioned: July 8, 1995.
- Okay, cool. Now I gotta do some quick math in my head. What year is it now? Alright.
- Subtract 1995 from the current year.
- Then I had to check if his birthday this year already passed. July 8th… yep, that was a while ago. So the simple subtraction works out.
Just to be sure, I clicked on one or two links that looked like more reliable sources, maybe a known BJJ news site or a Wikipedia-like page. They pretty much confirmed the birth date. It’s funny how sometimes you gotta double-check even simple stuff you find online.
So, after that little bit of digging, maybe took like, five minutes tops, I got my answer. It wasn’t rocket science, just a quick check. It’s kinda wild thinking about how much he’s accomplished at that age. Makes you reflect a bit, you know? Anyway, that was my little practical task for the day – finding out Gordon Ryan’s age. Simple stuff, but sometimes you just gotta know.
