Do you think Glover should be held accountable for giving Pereira a black belt? And is there anything the BJJ community can do about it?

[Clark Rogers]

I think JustMark should go down to Brazil or wherever Glover's school is, and try to hold him accountable. Roll with Alex while you're at it.

Let us know how that goes for ya.

Come on man, as long as you're Brazilian you're automatically a black belch and untouchable on the ground.

Aldo, Barao, Vitor, JDS, Anderson, Wand, Thiago Silva, Shogun, Machida, add any brazilian striker to this list.

Epic white belt thread.

Teixeira's school is in Connecticut.

Brendan Schaub has a black belt, that belt now has as much meaning as the WWE championship

If you want it to mean something again you need like some governing body to keep track of all the black belts. Each year have a bunch of 10 men tournaments where the bottom 5 finishers lose their black belt.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Your threads are trash TS. You need to troll try harder.

Punish him Jack!

 

[TriangleMonkey]

There way more scrubby bjj black belts Im sorry

At least Periera can scrap, sprawl, and even land TDs, he has the best TD in mma right now and it’s his lead-hook to the chin

I could be wrong but I think Glover lives in Connecticut.

If only there were something someone could do about trash threads!

Yeah, take care of it man. Thanks.

Just for the record:

Poatan made his MMA debut in 2015, losing a thriller against a pretty good LHW. His ground game was notably raw but he had some decent defensive technique and used his strength well to initiate scrambles. He had two more MMA fights in a year, both of which he won against limited comp. He didn't fight MMA for another 4 years and looked like a monster on the international kickboxing scene, making several thousand dollars in the process.

I mention these facts because he has been training grappling for almost a decade now. He didn't just start in 2020, he's been doing this for quite some time, and it shows in his ability to defend himself on the ground. No, he is not an Oliveira or Ortega-level BJJ blackbelt and quite frankly I don't think he deserves a BB based off of what I've seen from him (or rather what I haven't seen) but Glover disagrees with me, for various reasons, and he's given him a black belt. So no, there's nothing the BJJ community can do about it.

Remember when Roger Gracie gave Rashad Evans a BJJ Black Belt? Yeah, the guy with like 30 UFC fights and literally zero sub attempts! It's not like this type of thing is unheard of.

 

[AmalgamOpus]

Shame on you TS, boo this man.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i wonder if anyone has become a black belt in a striking art after submitting someone

 

[SuperNerd]

People are addicted to getting off to retribution and calling it justice.

 

[Azure]

I would be pissed it it was a Sambo promotion, if Sambo was easy it would be BJJ

 

[StonedLemur]

No

you gotta sit there and fuckin eat it.

That foot has been in many asses lately sir, you must be exhausted lol

 

[loisestrad]

Someone needs to call the black belt police.

 

[italiamusica]

People need money and are more greedy now than ever, shell out black belts to everyone willing to pay for it.
