all of you guys talking shit should make a trip to gracie tampa and roll with matt, he is fucking incredible......this was no fluke, and even if it was, 2 black belts in one day is more than most of you could ever wish for (exept for you brian)
Matt submitted MULTIPLE black belts at this tournament - it was not a fluke, but the product of hard work and skill. I teach Jiu-Jitsu for a living, I know a little about this sort of thing.
If Edson was out of shape then he doesn't belong in a professional absolute division (which this was), I say that is a cop-out.
Also your aligation that Arroyo is all strength and not impressive shows your ignorance of Jiu-Jitsu technique. Please tell me how his flowing transitions from omoplata-triangle-armbar involved strength and not great Jiu-Jitsu knowledge.
If Matt is unimpressive then what does it say about Edson?
Edson is great, Matt is also great and on this day better.
you are right about something, any body can have a bad day, I have seen a good blue belt tap out a black belt, so if you know anything about jiu jitsu, you should know these things can happen.
i have never heard of this guy matt arroyo...edson on the other hand is a known champion, loosin like this does not mean anything..this is probably one of those tournaments to get in shape for a real one.
Man Edson got caught. And I know him personally and know he was out of shape at the time. I'm telling you there is nothing impressive about this purple belt. now his other matches I don't know but I can tell he's like all strength based on the way he wrestles.
I like your triangle man.

omoplata to triangle good work.

This definitely did not look like domination as the subject title implicated, but nice triangle at the end, good setup.

Where do you teach, and that's your BJJ rank?

In that case, your comments should be given some consideration. We have way too many kids pretending to know BJJ and trolling the shit out of things.
I know Edson personally as well, and he's a dedicated professional. But there's always somebody better. Always.
I don't agree with the alegation that him being out of shape is/was a cop-out. You know Matt, we know Edson. That's all there is to it.
