There’s been a lot of talk about Nicky Ryan taking on the original EBI Featherweight Champion Geo “Freakazoid” Martinez. Both Nicky Ryan and his older brother Gordon have challenged Geo to fight Nicky.
The most recent challenge came after former Danaher Death Squad member Jon Calestine won the Featherweight Championship this weekend at EBI 15, defeating Geo in the finals:
Ebi 6 I entered on short notice and subbed everyone from start to finish (2 in ot) and everyone said it was a fluke. @jon_calestine comes in on 1 days notice after a major shoulder injury and barely any training time and subs 3 people in regulation. I understand geo may have had the flu which is unfortunate especially because I know what it’s like to compete sick. I would love to see a rematch or a match with @nickyryanbjj (another junior student) who has already beaten every top 10p black belt in his weight class besides geo and has also been to adcc making him the top 16 in the world at his weight. Either match would be exciting. Give the fans what they want. If geo subs Nicky I will personally hand geo 5,000$ on top of whatever he gets from promoters. The offer stands. Let’s see you step up. @jon_calestine is the man and will continue to dismantle many men. Congrats to @eddiebravo10p on another successful @ebiofficial
Well, it appears fight fans might finally get to see Geo and the younger Ryan throw down on the mats. Freakazoid has agreed to fight Nicky — that is, with a condition. Martinez said he would fight Nicky Ryan only if, after submitting Ryan, he gets a shot at Gordon.
Whoever is down to pay me 10k 💵 for a match speak up. I’m definitely down, let’s do it. Im down to battle vs anyone even the king himself
Submitting the youngest member of the Danaher Death Squad will certainly be no easy feat, but if one man can pull it off, it’s Freakazoid.
There is no news yet on when and where this match will take place. As Geo is asking for “EBI rules,” EBI is the most likely venue.
