Rock a black belt with a straight right and he becomes a brown belt.Pretty sure he has submitted BJJ black belts.....
This guy knows. Under Pederneiras, the best mma grappling coach in Brazil too!Aldo is a black belt.
Being a white belt in BJJ does not reflect on grappling/submission skills at all. See: Matt Hughes and Josh Barnett
This is black belt level stuff IMO
It's an "honorary black belt" to mark his skills and level of knowledge, which are comparable to that of a legitimate black belt, as evidenced by his performance at the nogi Mundials. But, he is not actually a black belt because Barnett wearing a gi would get owned badly in that same division.Josh Barnett has a Blackbelt in BJJ under Erik Paulson, he has never trained BJJ though.
Chuck Norris has several black belts.
dumb ass OP.
Must be embarrassing to the black belts he's submitted.
oh yeah im sure everyone gives them shit for being submitted by P4P #1 fighter
I don't buy that he is a white belt. Judo black belts often start out in BJJ with a blue belt. I can't imagine Jon at this point not being at least at a purple level.
BJJ practitioners are about 100x more common and it's used much more than judo in MMA.
Let's use some common sense here.
Chuck Norris was a purple or brown belt in bjj before UFC 1. No sarcasm, being totally real. World class kickboxer and karateka, also a high level bjj fighter.
This is black belt level stuff IMO
Jones is a white belt yes, but the best fighters in the world are both black belts. Not much to discuss here except for the clinic that Renan Barao would run on Jones from guard.
