It's on the video where he gets ragdolled by the large brown belt. Also I believe in some video "Dr Mike" grappled with jujimufu another large fitness youtuber, and he also was manhandling much more experienced grapplers.Show me several videos of Martyn tapping out purple belts please.
You know there is a difference between an average blue purple belt and MM, right?
Of course there is, I think the distinction that this thread is only semi about.. that I don't like, is essentially the idea that training in general means you can beat x,y,z. Most guys who find success at a high level are very good right off of the bat.
I trained for years already(albeit 20 years ago) and have seen random 260 lbs 2/3 stripe whites "go too hard" and mangle purple and brown belts who were 190ish. Of course there were random amazing black belts 140 lbs who could beat them, but you would get the sense watching those sessions(or at least I would) that if punches or slamming were involved the big guys would likely win.
But I definitely don't wanna argue with a true sherdog veterano. Especially if the krelian in your name is a reference to xenogears
