some of this list is old. Gustavo Dantas, my coach is listed as a black belt, when he has his 2nd degree.
this is cool, but I do think that there should be a more cohesive record, kept by a focused BJJ group. a black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu is the product of years of effort, and should be remembered by somebody.

the color of ones belt is not as important as who gave you that belt.

i know it's been said a lot... but BJ won the Mundials after 3 years of training. he never really focused on grappling after that, but you have to imagine he probably could've won any grappling title there is with that kind of natural ability.
more money in mma of course...
