Black belts are not really a sign of skill anymore, I mean a 45 year old office worker can receive a legit black belt after 10 years of training consistently, but that 22 year old competitive purple can beat him.
Chinzo is a 5-3 40 year old guy who's been subbed by nobodies so I'd say his BJJ black belt is fake.
However Wandy has been competing in MMA for 2 DECADES and fought some of the best grapplers to ever grace the mat and NEVER been subbed in his entire career.
Him not being able to do anything with Sonnen has more to do with fatigue and showing up out of shape rather than skill.
You don't face/beat guys like Arona and Saku in their prime(holding your own in the grappling exchanges) and have your black belt questioned.

That 45 year old is going to suffocate the purple beltimo the game has evolved so much that most fighters that train full time are black belt levels in BJJ. The bjj game has also evolved from when Wand and Machida got their black belts.

With all due respect, remind me to NEVER train at your local BJJ gym m8 lol
wut....since when did Wand hold his own in those fights grapplingwise...no one who's seen those matches would come to that conclusion....didn't get subbed yes...but ....that's little far fetched thing to say...
What? you think some 55 year old black belt of any level cannot be beaten by a high level purple belt that competes? you are the one delusional about belt colors translating to skills without considering things like age, athleticism, previous grappling experience. The purple belt I saw was a very high level Judo player before he switched to BJJ.
Eddie Bravo subbed Royler as a brown belt too.
Wandy was also juiced to the ears during pride. What's his record in orgs that drug test?Chinzo is a 5-3 40 year old guy who's been subbed by nobodies so I'd say his BJJ black belt is fake.

I don't think it is fatigue. What Wand did against Chael is exactly how you fight grapplers. If you maintain that position with a grappler in a real fight, nothing will happen, he will on top of you and do nothing significant, the neighbors or the police will come and separate you, and everybody will move on with no damage.Chinzo is a 5-3 40 year old guy who's been subbed by nobodies so I'd say his BJJ black belt is fake.

Yeah because juice = automatic Sub Defense against an ADCC Champ and The Gracie Hunter.
PS: since you're talking about flying unicorns passing off other speculations as facts here's one I'm sure you might like...
