I am not talking about black belt who is a regular joe, put in 10 years and got a black belt, like recently some UFC matchmaker dude got his black belt, but a black belt who competes nationally/internationally.
I once created a thread a while ago about Fedor training under BJJ Rickson Black belt, and questioned whether Fedor could receive Black belt under Rickson lineage, and he is training at times under some Rickson Gracie Blackbelt in Holland, but some guy kept asking for the source, and it got wastelanded/deleted due to lack of a source by the mod, but I digress.
If you are high level BJJ player, or a fan of BJJ, or a practioner, do you think Fedor is a BJJ black belt level?
I once had a chance to ask this to a high level bjj black belt, and It's been years since, so I can't recall his exact response, but I think he mentioned something along the line of how he has never submitted BJJ black belt, while complimenting Fedor on his fighting ability/maybe mindset too can't remember, details of conversation which I can't recall exactly....
I always felt like Fedor was very hard to submit, but his guard seemed like non existent, everyone passes his guard pretty much, but he's pretty explosive, and he does have submissive threat....I am talking about his purely ground skills, of course he's a very very high level Judoka/ and Sambo player as well...* I think he's GOAT of course btw...but he doesn't seem to care much about guard if at all..
IS Fedor on the level of BJJ black belt who competes on national/international level? What do you think and why?
