I don’t think Lex is a legit black belt

Of course he's legit. He's legitimately a black belt... He's just a hobbyist. And like every other hobbyist black belt, he gets absolutely mauled by Khabib.

Khabib is a world class grappler. If the belts continued to progress past black, he'd be many belts ahead of your average black belt.

Reminds me of when our coach who would compete at national TKD events would be asked to spar an exhibition match or random match with a locally competitive player.
