How is Frankie Edgar a purple belt. Him and Chris L came into my school which was a Almeida Assoc in july…And neither one of em knew how to tie on a white belt!!!!!!!!! I hate that
p.s guess they will be blackbelts by spring lol
exactly! Neither one of them are BJJ purple belt level. They are both good MMA guys…Frankie, an excellent MMA guy, but purple belt from blue belt in a few months? They didnt even get fucking stripes on their blue belts. Such bullshit.
