Garry Lee Tonon (born September 12, 1991) is an American submission grappler and mixed martial artist. He is a five-time Eddie Bravo Invitational champion, and has won titles at ADCC submission wrestling championship, IBJJF World and Pan American championships.[1]
He is known for his use of leglocks in submission-only grappling matches, and is a former member of the "Danaher Death Squad," a grappling team that was led by John Danaher at Renzo Gracie Academy.[4][5]
While he still maintains a consistent submission grappling training schedule, since his debut in early 2018 Tonon has focused primarily on training and competing in professional mixed martial arts competition.[6] He is an active fighter for the Singapore-based mixed martial arts promotion ONE Championship.[7] He officially signed with the organization in October 2017.[8] As of October 12, 2023, he is ranked #1 in the ONE Featherweight rankings.[9]
Tonon has background in folkstyle wrestling, holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Tom DeBlass & Ricardo Almeida, and is the head instructor of Brunswick BJJ in South Brunswick, New Jersey.[10]
