Is Alex Pereira the least deserving black belt ever?

[Safwan ibn Muattal]

There have been many questionable black belts in MMA history (Vitor, Wanderlei, Cub Swanson, Poirier), but this may be the worst I can think of. Getting a black belt after a fight where 2 seconds of "grappling" was involved is comical at best, downright pathetic at worst.

You've never even seen his grappling

Are you using Alex Pereira's UFC fights as the sole indicator of his grappling expertise?

 

[DapperDave]

I don't train in his gym. How could I possibly know?

You?

I just assumed it was a troll posting from a sock account. I don't think he's really that stupid.

Right?

RIGHT??

He didn't look like a black belt when Adesanya had him down for an entire round. Luckily Alex was saved by the end of the round where he could get back up.

 

[Clark Rogers]

TS doesn't deserve their white belt imo. Give em pink, mods

 

[Nobru]

this was a joke by his team lol
he has no belts but hes a fucking striking master, so they gave him one

 

[DonFrye4Life]

Gary Goodridge would like to have a word.

 

[SuperNerd]

BJJ belts are not earned in the UFC cage.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Yes especially since Magomed will take him down and show Alex has zero BJJ except a standing choke that never works

 

[supermurph]

Couture got his after subbing James Tony. Aside from losing, don't think the fight details matter so much.

 

[Fight Professor]

I remember JDS saying "I'm just a boxing guy" in a post fight interview soon after getting a black belt.

 

[runjay]

say that to his face fucker and not online and see wut happens
