well... he would have the advantage in knowledge, since he may of been practicing longer, but their is still the skill aspect, and luck, and such.
if you pair up two judoka one knowing only the basics, which are some throws, and very minimal grappling, against a judoda who has much more experience, much more grappling techniques, and more effecient at throws then im going with the experienced judoka.
as would everyone else. no smart person unless they know something hiiden about that person would pick a white or yellow belt, to beat a brown or black belt.
I completely agree with what you are saying here.
To go back to the basics thing, it applies to what I have seen from Judo as well. I have a little experience in Judo (only several months) but when I see Judo guys in MMA, a lot of the throws I do see them use are the basic ones that I learned as a white belt.
so someone who only knows the basics of grappling can beat someone who knows much more than the basics?
No that was not my point. What I meant was that your basics such as shrimping positioning basic guard drills should be done every day and perfected. A fighter with a good foundation of basic techniques will always beat a fighter who just ignores what they have been taught before. You'll see more mma fights won with a triangle choke then you will a flying arm bar.
No matter what belt you are brown, black, super rainbow you should still work your basic techniques everyday.
