^Yeah, looking at his record he's never fought one. His main training partner is Jorge Gurgel though (black belt) and he's a brown belt under him.

I thought he was a purple belt? He at least was no higher than that when he fought Rich.

he is a purple belt. rich is a brown belt. i dont think this has a big impact on him because many bjj bb dont have good enough takedowns to take down rich, and rich usually keeps fight standing

Rich has not fought anyone with a great takedown, when this happens i think he will lose. I also think he will lose to Andedrson.

Wrong, he is a black belt and Rich is a brown belt.

When Wrestler189 and I talked about someone having a purple belt, we were talking about Lyoto (not Gurgel).
