Today I learned that Maia...

[randomalias]

... only started BJJ at 19 years old.

 

[SMEGMA]

Fascinating...

I think he was black belted after 4 years and change, IIRC.

That's a pretty radical pace. He might be the real prodigy, all apologies to BJ Penn.

 

[RyuHayabusa]

Before that he was wanksten

 

[Bartinho]

I started at 22, an old man.

arent Vitor and Machida black belts? and they both got subbed by white belt jones

BJJ belts dont mean shit in MMA, all about how effectively you can apply your grappling to a totally different sport
