Default Is Shogun a BJJ black belt?
UFC® : Ultimate Fighting Championship®

According to this article from ufc.com he is. I thought he was still a brown belt. Anybody know when he got his black, or is ufc.com just a bunch of idiots.

I think he is....but I don't know much about his BJJ ranking/color belt, but he is one hell of a fighter.

from completemartialarts.com:


Shogun hails from Chute Boxe Academy in Curitiba, Brazil, a Muay Thai training group which has produced champions like Wanderlei Silva. He is the younger brother of Murilo "Ninja" Rua, a fellow Chute Boxe member. Mauricio is known for his Muay Thai ability. Mauricio is known for being a phenom of the new wave of MMA fighters having mastered both striking skills and having a very well developed ground game, including a black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu.
