Something utterly crazy happened at the ADCC trials.Garry Tonon and Dillion Danis’ year-long social media wars and their various attempts to ruffle each other’s feathers at the match finally came to a head when “Munch” won. Dillon refused to shake Gordon’s hands, which showed just how upset he was with the other team. Gary Tonon and some other folks tried to incite the two men to fight each other immediately at that point. Fights tend to ignite when other people fan the flames of the fire. This fire almost ignited right then and there because so much tension had built up over the past year. The two men would have come to blows but they were quickly stopped by ADCC officials. They cooled things down, but the tension has obviously remained between the two sides’ team members.
Garry Tonon Posted On His Facebook:
“Much respect Munchie today for winning ADCC trials and beating our teammate Oliver Taza in the finals. I’m sorry I did not get a chance to shake his hand. Dillon did not want to shake our hands after the contest, which is his right, and I understand his position because we definitely talk shit about him and his teammates publicly. Understand this, I don’t want to be Dillon’s friend, I Don’t like him, I don’t like his additude, general mentality about competition, nor how seriously he takes himself. I also don’t like that his teammates have declined Matches with myself and Gordon on numerous occasions but still like to act like they are the shit. I feel relatively similar about Munch and Mathieus, Munch is obviously the most level headed of the three. Despite all of this myself and Gordon are still willing to shake hands with our rivals after a contest has been completed. Dillon is not, which is fine, but then if you have such a problem with Gordon that you can’t shake his hand, then have a match with him, prove you are his superior, make him bow to your achievement. That’s just how I feel. If Dillon thinks that my opinion is worth fighting over I’d be more than happy to enter any MMA promotion and fight with him, or have a rematch with him in jiu jitsu if it will make him feel better. Either way, I guarantee you I will extend my hand to him after we Compete regardless of result. My apologies for any and all unprofessionalism I showed today at ADCC. Oh and one last thing, this is to anyone we talk shit to or about who gets legitimately butthurt, hey Morons we’re helping you make money off the sport, say thank you, goodnight:*”
