UFC has some of the worst BJJ Black Belts

[ChessJitsu]

Jacare got submitted in MMA by a UFC prospect.

MMA grappling is not BJJ.

People get promoted for different reasons and MMA is only 1 dimension of BJJ.

Those accolades did not translate into mma tho.

He literally won the wsof belt in two different weight classes via submissions. You must have only seen his short UFC run when he was super washed, he was predominantly known as a grappling heavy fighter for his main run (bellator, first UFC stint, and wsof)

UFC has some of the worst BJJ black belts

Wrestlers have dominated the UFC scene but it seems only a few BJJ black belts are actually good in ground exchanges. It seems every fighter has a brown/black belt in BJJ nowadays but we rarely see high level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu being used for many reasons.

Anthony Smith who is a BJJ black belt is easily getting taken down and dominated by Roman Dolidze and not using any of his skills to pose a threat to Doldize but instead curls up into a ball and accepts being mounted for the rest of the round.

Andrei Arlovski is also a BJJ black belt but we rarely ever see any of his jitsu skills are he prefers to strike and make mistakes just to get into positions were he is easily submitted. All the times he's been submitted he tends to give up his back really easily and taps out right away.

TBH recently BJJ has given us the most pathetic butt flopping performances ever.

There’s punches

Also the skill level meta has changed


Matt Hughes didn’t know about wall walking.

Guys can get up easier and have more Bjj skills

Let's be real if Josh the engineer/lawyer with a bjj black belt also did MMA at any level of competitiveness they'd be making the same mistakes.

A wise man once said everyone has a plan before they get punched in the head.
