Ok. But I still find it hard to believe as a white belt, in the gi, he was destroying brown belts.
He wasn't doing it this at IBJJF tournaments, but at fighter training and in the regular class. He started as a 215 lb state champ wrestler. The first time I rolled with him I had him in a deep arm bar. He just lifted me off the ground and rag dolled me. He never gets tired and is extremely explosive and powerful. Guard drills he would just get to his feet and take you down. I have figured out ways to deal with him for now but he will pass me by before he gets to purple.
If you are a recreational brown belt around 150-170 lbs he is a nightmare.
edit...I will go ahead and admit it. He tapped me out one time while he was a white belt. He would have tapped other black belts as well if they weren't ducking him... (the only white belt to ever tap me out as a black belt "foot lock while in guard")
This kid is a real beast. His potential is great...
His first two pro MMA fights have not gone past the first round. Won both by ref stoppage. He got his blue belt after only a few months of training in the gi. All the upper belts were happy on this day...
