|  Renzo Gracie comments on Rashads "black belt",said Evans earned it in the locker room
Bloody Elbow - Pound-for-Pound the Best in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Commentary, News and Community
graciefighter.com  Quote: |
"It was a recognition from Rolles that Rashad should compete in the highest categories of gi-less grappling competitions. In the Gi-less World Championships for example you cannot compete in the Blackbelt division no matter how long you've been grappling unless a certified instructor gives you a belt for that division. Can I say that Rashad has worked his way up in the correct belt order with a gi? Of course not and I don't think as a pro fighter he will be doing gi tournaments anytime soon. I differentiate between gi and gi-less and apparently Rolles found him ready for the belt in gi-less. I don't think you should give someone a belt in a locker room. Not sure if that was Rolles' idea."

If one of the Gracies says you deserve a black belt in their BJJ, then I think you probably deserve it. I'm not one to question them! And they are world class....they're not giving them away just to do it....and he did say it was for Gi-less too....so go Rashad!

Very few of them in the UFC it would seem. When it comes to BJJ I will take a Gracie's opinion over any one else.
