Kevin burns submitting roan carnaro (sp) UFC 85 is still IMO the biggest submission upset.

Burns was a blue belt and iirc roan was a Bjj world or Brazilian champion Phone Post

The problem we run into is distinguishing high level black belts from "regular" black belts. For instance, if Thiago Alves has his black belt now, I don't think he's accomplished enough in BJJ to indicate he's high level.

Also, Braga is Luta Livre, not BJJ.

Miiiiiiighty defensive there. We're glad you came and told us! We were just about to start talking about how BJJ and MMA are the SAME EXACT THING until you came along and set us straight!!

Fair enough. Scratch Thiago Silva.

There are some legit entries in here, I do kind of think there is a difference when the BB in question gets rocked or dropped and then gets subbed when he doesn't know up from down.

Sass is very good, but Matt has been a beast on the ground for years.

Why? This isn't a sport BJJ thread. The thread title is clear "High level BJJ BBs who have been submitted in MMA?" Why the defensive disclaimer?
