Crocop a brown belt in BJJ!?!

Frank Trigg said on FSN's Pride show that Crocop is now a brown belt in BJJ. He said it right before they showed Wanderlei/CC 2. Does anyone have any info on this? Can that be right?

If this is true, wow. Scary. I though Wandy or Shogun with their respective belts was scary,

Probably meant to say blue, Bas often referred to him as being "A good blue belt"

That makes more sense. I didnt think that was plausible unless he was some sort of prodigy. One of my BJJ instructors is a brown belt and hes been training since the late 90's.

I know he was training with Werdum, but brown in such a short time would be some achievement.
Probably blue.

frank trigg lies, how many times must we go over this. Cro cop is CLEARLY no where even close to the level of a brown belt in jiu jitsu. Maybe he just knows how to keep his guard closed like a brown belt or something. Either trigg is lying, or the belt is just bogus.

That's how CC/Gonzaga II will end.


Maybe.
