Is Keith Jardine a black belt?

[JerseyTrash]

I'm watching his fight against Wilson Gouveia. Joe Rogan said "Wilson's a black belt, so Keith doesn't want to go to the ground with him." Then Mike cut in, "But so is Keith." I tried looking this up, but couldn't find anything about it.

Not in BJJ.

He trains with Greg Jackson.

He trains in Greg Jackson's hybrid grappling system Gaidojitsu.

Granted there are many who practice nogi exclusively / predominantly and still are ranked in BJJ (mma fighters who started BJJ to fight MMA). . . but generally when someone is said to have a BJJ black belt (like wilson or aurelio or florian or gonzaga or werdum or bj or well you get the idea) they were a BJJ guy (with a Gi) who is now transitioning into MMA and nogi.

It's a shame that he lost to Houston Alexander...
