Yo fam, found a weird one on UFC. <@1417220501407011020> <@1460986477742657662> Some of you guys hear sounds differently so here it is to assess. At the moment I believe BLOOD was said in the Mequita vs Mullins fight. It's trading at 2c YES. https://kalshi.com/markets/kxfightmention/fight/kxfightmention-26jun20mesmul **Transcription from the Mesquita vs Mullins fight. Paul Felder speaking. The strike in question said it at 2:24 in R1:** “...but doing it in the octagon under the bright lights when there's a live crowd around you much harder to perform. Now, given the [blood] belt credentials that Melissa Mullins does have, it would mean that typically she should have the defensive strategy to not get submitted. **What is a “blood belt credential”? (answer from Claude)** “ "Blood belt" is a term used in BJJ/grappling circles — it refers to someone who has legitimate, hard-earned black belt level skills, usually proven through years of competition and tough training rather than just time on the mat. The idea is that the belt was "earned in blood".... In MMA context it usually means — can they impose their grappling on a resisting opponent at the highest level, or does it fall apart when tested?” Context: Mullins isn’t a great standup fighter, but now that the fight is on the ground she has the defensive strategy. Mullins is a black belt in BJJ. **Alternate possibility….** The most logical other conclusion is that Felder says, "Black belt credentials” but I don’t here “ah” or “ck.” There's nothing else I can figure that he said. **My position: **I think it’s “blood belt credentials.” It sounds like it and context supports it 100%. I have a lot of BLOOD YES shares. If it's not, ohhh welllllllllll.
