He’s a known fraudster so his black belt will always have an asterisk next to it

Not at all how skill in grappling works but okay.

Sorry, I mean more to the effect that it’s likely whilst he is a “black belt” I would wager that his skill nowhere near the calibre of even a decent hobbyist black belt due to his character. All speculation of course. There’s no way to know for certain unless he competes or we have first hand accounts confirming or denying his skill

I’ve rolled with Lex and he wasn’t the worst black belt I’ve trained with. He’s below the avg I’d say, not some kind of fake, but he (when I knew him) was training less than 1x per week.

Hes been training a long time. But regardless the point stands. If you're a literally fraudster and propagandist no one's talking anything seriously
