On November 12, 2022, he stated on Instagram:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Had the pleasure of meeting these two badasses, Gordon and Sonny. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gordonlovesjiujitsu\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@gordonlovesjiujitsu<\/a><\/strong> we laughed and drank and they choked us all out.

Aloha.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They obviously had a great time together and formed a close connection as Jason welcomed them to his Ohana (family).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside having fun on the island they rolled and put Jason&#8217;s skills to the test. Furthermore, Jason predicts Gordon to stay at the top of the competitive BJJ scene for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What most people don&#8217;t know is that the two also have matching tattoos:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_afb358-d6 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_afb358-d6\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/bjjdivision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jason-Momoa-Gordon-Ryan-Matching-Tattoos.webp\" alt=\"Jason Momoa and Gordon Ryan Matching Tattoos Hawaii\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-2512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bjjdivision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jason-Momoa-Gordon-Ryan-Matching-Tattoos.webp 460w, https:\/\/bjjdivision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jason-Momoa-Gordon-Ryan-Matching-Tattoos-261x300.webp 261w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><figcaption>Jason Momoa and Gordon Ryan with Matching Tattoos in Hawaii<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_f116f8-38 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_f116f8-38 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_f116f8-38\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon Ryan himself posted on his Instagram account <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gordonlovesjiujitsu\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@gordonlovesjiujitsu<\/a><\/strong><\/em> on the same day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We made a new friend. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/prideofgypsies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@prideofgypsies<\/a><\/strong> is seemingly one of the nicest and most down to earth people I&#8217;ve ever met. What I learned from him and being around him in just 2 short days is priceless. We hung out, I watched him work, which was fascinating, we drank, we grappled, we had many deep conversations, and we had a lot of fun. He is authentic, he cares for and takes care of his friends and family, he fights for what he believes in, and he works very hard. He is someone I am glad to call a friend.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After praising his new friend he goes on to address their different political views as Jason Momoa leans liberal while Gordon Ryan takes a more conservative stance. The two seem to have accepted each other&#8217;s views and get along great:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;As for my overly conservative fan base who were attacking him the other day \ud83d\ude02- we actually did talk politics a little. We agreed on some things, we disagreed on some things, but more than anything we didn&#8217;t care about those differences at all and focused on the time we had together. We listened to each other and had a conversation, then changed the subject and enjoyed the night. If you&#8217;re on here attacking him for his stances, political or otherwise, just know that you don&#8217;t know him, I do, and you won&#8217;t get any support from me. After these last few days, he is someone I am now proud to call a friend.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon addresses Jason Momoa&#8217;s impressive physical feats and expects he would do well in a celebrity grappling match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;He is also a freak of nature that we need to get into a celebrity grappling match at some point .&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two even made a pact with each other:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;He made me promise I would never respond to a hater online again&#8230; I shook hands and everything.. fml, let&#8217;s see how this goes&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3d2d63-77 .kt-block-spacer{height:50px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3d2d63-77 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_3d2d63-77\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b9e521-76, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b9e521-76[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b9e521-76\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b9e521-76 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b9e521-76[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b9e521-76\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_b9e521-76 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b9e521-76\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Jason Momoa doesn&#8217;t seem to consistently train BJJ, it is great that he is part of the sport.
