Covid 19 has been bad for grappling and it even canceled one of the biggest matches of the year, Gordon Ryan vs Ronaldo Jr. Just days before the bout, Ryan had to cancel due to showing symptoms of Coronavirus. Until now, he hasn’t really spoken about how it went down, but recently put a video out discussing his situation at the time.
Basically, he described the typical symptoms, fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches and other problems such as a cough. He claimed that after five days it was at its worst, but was similar to having the flu or a cold. On the fifth day, he claims a friend gave him some medicine which made him feel over 50% better by the next day. Ryan didn’t expand on the medicine or what it was – but it seemed to work and within a week or so he was better. He later said in the comments that it took over one month to get his smell back.
