And people call Keenan a sandbagger...

This cat Joao Gabriel Rocha won his division and 3rd absolute in 2011 at Brown belt then won his division and absolute in 2012 at Brown belt...and he's still a brown belt...EXPLAIN?

 

sergio penha skipped brown belt and went straight to black from purple. EXPLAIN?

 

you must...DISCUSS

 

completely irrelevant. probably getting your extra post in to get your coveted "sherdog black belt"

 

yes the sherdog black belt is so coveted. think of how good that will look on my resume.

keenan was selected to fight the worlds greatest and heaviest black belts.
if he wins, he should definitely be promoted, regardless of what the ibjjf says

 

I think if he even wins a couple matches he should be promoted (somehow). I can't see a reality where he actually wins the whole thing, given his competition.

 

I thought this was going to be about Keenan in the same weight class as Palhares in ADCC

 

Joao should of got his black belt in 2011

 

Keenan has not won the Gi Worlds at brown at all. Explain!!!

 

Keenan has not won the Gi Worlds at brown at all. Explain!!!

 

no.

 

id say keenen wins the mundials at brown this year and is promoted by end of the year

 

Joao is yet to win anything major.

 

hope that answers your question..he was just awarded his bb

 

lol what now ts^^

 

Helio needed someone to compete against Rickson.

 

Um...both of these kind of pale in comparison to Felipe Pena, who beat the defending Black Belt World Champion a weight class below his own as a brown belt, and he's still a brown belt.

Just saying.

 

Maybe his coach feels he's not at BB to his personal level? Maybe he's sandbagging? Who cares?

 

felipe got his bb recently

 

Fredson Paixao did the same thing. Well Mestre' Osvaldo Alves did the promotion. FYI they didn't get promoted at the same time. They are from different training eras.
