Stripes are not given because you are a better grappler, they are given on the basis of your service to the sport (teaching/passing it on to others)...
So Werdum being a 2nd degree simply means that since getting the Black Belt he has been teaching the art for longer than say a Roger Gracie...
Hence why Rickson is a 7th degree BB because he has been teaching BJJ since he was a teenager.

Too lazy to start a new thread or "search function". What degree black belt is Helio Gracie?
