I wouldn't call those BJJ guys tho. JDS is primarily a boxer, Silva and Also are MT guys, and St. Pierre is a karate that guy that has developed into one hell of a MMA practitioner. The fact they have BJJ blackbelts doesn't matter to me its not what got them the titles per say. It has helped them keep the titles sure but they're not straight BJJ guys like Maia or Souza.
