Forrest Griffin's belt ranking in BJJ
Does anyone know Forrest Griffin's belt ranking in BJJ?. I'm in a debate on another board with a guy who says that BJJ is "stale" and that he prefers krav maga. I pointed out that of the 5 current UFC champions, 3 are BJJ black belts(Big Nog, A. Silva, and BJ)and 1 is a BJJ brown belt(GSP). I did some Googling around but couldn't find Forrest' BJJ belt ranking, so if someone knows, please let me know.

Fair enough . But seriously, why is he the only UFC champ who doesn't have his BJJ belt ranking publicized?. I figured at least one of my fellow Sherdoggers could help me out on this one, so?...

Rua got a BJJ black belt from Schembri. Since Forrest choked the fuck out of Rua I would say Forrest has a higher BJJ level than Shogun.

I got a theory behind these silly ass colored belts in the martial arts. They are alot like master degree's mental health counselors get. As long as the check clears the instructors will keep on passing out more good grades and belts.

Forrest doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would spend time training in a gi.

I don't think thats the way that a belt system works.
