Maybe he had a bad case of nerves, but in all honesty, i've seen fighters with lower grappling credentials then that look much better on the ground then he did.
Who did he get is black belt from? Did he earn it in a legit way? How has he faired in grappling tournaments.
Sorry for all hte questions, but i'm always skeptical of things i hear from the ufc hype machine.

I only remember hearing that Hardonk had a blue belt under Rickson. If I remember correctly, I saw a Rickson JJ logo on his trunks too. No way either of them are black belts. BJJ isn't Karate or TKD; at least not yet anyways. I think that Hardonk looked bad even for a blue belt. By the time you reach blue belt level, especially under Rickson, you should be able to pull off armbars and simple chokes with and without a gi. I was also disappointed with McCulley's grappling abilities as well. Especially for how long he has trained with Tito and Team Punishment. Both guys were disappointing for this level of MMA competition.
