This constant thing you do where you're like "Bro, you're a fucking idiot" inbetween every point you're trying to make is just such transparent gay bullshit lol Like bro, you're not an intellectually intimidating person and you come off like an insecure bitch to be honest, so you can save the "brain cell" stuff. I'm unironically smarter than you and no matter what demeaning shit you type you're not going to convince me otherwise, so you're just performing for yourself at this point, which is really gross and pathetic.
Anyway, I'm asking for, in your infinite wisdom, a discretion between blue and purple. Honestly asking what traits you distinguish, since you seem to know exactly what a bluebelt in 2021 is and exactly what a purple belt is, since the consensus between a bunch of you dying on the Rogan Hill is that he would cut through a bluebelt like a hot knife through butter but somehow a purple belt would present all these problems and issues for Rogan. I'm just asking what the difference would be. If your only answer is "Dramatic...(insert a variation of 'you're a fucking idiot if you disagree')" then i'm not taking you seriously. Sorry.
And if you want to know where I train so bad come shoot me a PM and we can figure it out. I can rub more than a few brain cells together and we can hit some drills sometime cupcake.
Ok. All I said was there is a dramatic difference between a blue and a purple belt, which you implied there is not. You never provided any context and I'm not sure why that context would even matter that much.
I'm not comparing an average/hobbyist purple belt from 1998 to a very good blue belt from 2021.
In general blue belts get fucking worked by purples. There's a huge gap between the two. Sure there are some hobbyist purples who aren't very good but they are still better than almost all blue belts barring some rare case.
I'd generally say belts don't matter, but when you speak in generalities then they obviously do. Obviously most blue belts destroy white belts, most purple destroy blue, most brown destroy purple, and most black destroy brown / the rest easily. Back to Rogan which seems to be the part of disconnect here, yeah he started training in the 90s a bit maybe? But I think the bulk of his training is in the 2000s easily?
He got his black belt from Jean-Jaques Machado (2012). He trained with him a lot to begin with I believe. He trained at a more innovative and arguably gimmicky 10th planet with Bravo as well, so it's not like they were in the stone age with leg locks and shit. He got his black belt in 2012. So back to being generality, why would a legit black belt (or if Rogan was really even Brown or even Purple) lose to blues?
Kurt Osiander is 54 right now, Matt Serra is 47, Rickson is nearing 63. You never answered my question, do you think Rickson would lose to most blue belts? The average blue belt? 25%? 10%? Do you think Osiander or Serra are losing to blue belts? Again, obviously Rogan is not in the same class as these guys, but he is a black belt and he is strong as fuck and he is 200+ lbs on PEDs. Repeating myself, but like I said I didn't mean to offend you but not sure how else to respond when you say blue belt is ehhh basically the same as purple belt. No it's not lol.
I'm just not sure how you are coming to this conclusion unless you're enacting some Danaher sandbag fantasy where their purples are beating black belts. Even then, are the blues? And we've already beat this horse beyond death, but sure Nicky Rod and Nicky Ryan come to mind. And that's your answer...
You're fixating on that sub 1% of blue belts in the world who are super fucking sandbagged and/or world class athletes/wrestlers/BJJ artists. Or you are fixating on Joe Rogan, which I said no offense but that's clearly what you are doing and if you want to be offended about that then okay I guess. There's no evidence that Rogan is a complete fake shitty black belt to the point of fraud, as in he's a white-blue in actuality. That's the basis of your argument essentially.
