Does anyone know what his BJJ rank is? He was impressive, but can't be more than a blue belt.

I'm not sure what his BJJ rank is but it is interesting to know that he trains down in Tampa at ATT with Kimbo now. Darkness and Kimbo = BFF!!

i agree his BJJ is good but he has absolutely ZERO! standup. When Schaub got up out of mount the fight was over, he doesnt even keep his hands up.

He does look very much like a fish out of water during the stand up portions of his fights on this season of TUF. Hopefully he has improved.

Yes! When Brendon got up and Marcus kind of slipped, Brendon took a big swing at Marcus and clocked him when he was still partly on the ground and the look on Marcus' face was like, 'What the hell did you do that for, man!??!?'

Same here but he doesn't seem like he would be too upset if that happened. He's older, and he even said that MMA is more of a hobby for him.

Well we got blue and purple, I think blues seems more accurate

Well with me personally I think if you practice something so long you will be good at it..White Belt,Blue Belt,or a Black Belt it doesnt matter..As long as you practice the postions,reverses and all of that you'll get better as you go..

Yeah, his stand up needs serious work or he'll have trouble getting fights to the ground consistently. He needs a really good jab and some footwork.

I agree. If he can master a jab and learn to work angles with quick foot work he'll be a headache for anyone at heavyweight. I really want to see Marcus get a good stand up game and fight Cheick Kongo....god that was would awesome. Two huge black dude with basketball boobies going at it lol.

I don't know if it even matters what belt he is. It appears to me that much of his success is from raw power, rather than technique. I enjoy watching him, I hope he improves his skill sets, and I wish him well!. However, if he has not improved his hands since the show, he is at serious risk of being KO'd by Mitrione(or whatever his name is).
