Apparently it's not a BJJ black belt. It's a Black Belt in his grappling coach's system, but not a BJJ black belt.
Just FYI. ^_^
Take care,

Is this a real black belt, or is it one of those no gi type black belts that Rolles Gracie got so lambasted for giving to Rashad Evans?
Either way, congrats to Captain America. An absolute master of MMA!!
Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up Oli, I think.
black belt with red stripe = BJJ BLACK BELT.
Go Handy!!
Neil Malanson isnt graded in BJJ I dont think, he is a catch wrestler and Judoka under Gokor/ Parisyan/ Lebell, but he has also trained a lot in BJJ.
The black belt is in his own grappling system that he trains the Xtreme Couture guys in.
oli i believe that u are correct. I seen a video on line a while ago and they where offering the oppurtunity to grade in a nogi system at xtreme couture. I was a new system introduced and something that was rolled out for the nogi grapplers at the gym.Originally Posted by Stalkachu
Upon seeing the black belt presentation i also assumed that it was in this new system and what a person to present that first black belt to!!
But any man who can hold j'acre off in a sub grappling match has to have some serious ground pedigree. At least of blackbelt standing.
lol..just seen 123mma's post!
That video is awesome!
He's got a blackbelt in No-gi grappling, as opposed to Rashad who does have a BJJ blackbelt despite not training in a Gi (and never having attempted a submission in the UFC career).....
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
I think the whole blackbelt thing was tounge n cheek guys
venni,vetti,vecci
