Wanderlei gets BJJ black belt


After conquering the Pride GP's title, the Chute-Boxe's idol Wanderlei Silva will become a BJJ black belt. Wanderlei is on the way to Rio de Janeiro next Friday to receive the Black belt certificate from the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Confederation's (CBJJ) president Carlinhos Gracie. 'I am so happy. This is an old dream for me and I think after almost submitting Yoshida and Quinton Jackson in the same night. I proved that I am ready to receive this belt,' said Wanderlei.

Wanderlei's speech is supported by Carlinhos Gracie: 'He is a great value fighter. Three years ago he was a purple belt of Sonequinha and then caught the brown one with Cristiano Marcelo and now he deserves the black belt. I will give him the black belt certificate from CBJJ, ' explains Carlinhos.
