JBoth you and Derek is on Rigan's list of black belts ( https://www.riganbjj.com/[...]belts.html ), so just a lineage adjustment away from my up vote!
JCarlinho is NOT a Rolls Gracie black belt but promoted directly by Helio, so would need to correct the lineage. See e.g. https://www.bjjheroes.com[...]an-machado
ZOn the list... https://ibjjf.com/certifi[...]lack-belts

Promoted byMaster Rigan MachadoMy Professor Derek Cleveland recently passed away and was unable to promote me to Black Belt. I recently learned that he was making special arrangements for Master Rigan to come to our academy in North Idaho for a special promotion. While attending an association seminar I was surprised by Master Rigan and honored to receive my Black Belt.

"Well documented profile, being promoted by one of the legends of the sport."
"Legit profile congrats on the stripe"
"Congratulations "
"Well documented profile and promotion history. Congratulations!"
"Looks good. Congratulations on the promotion. 👍"
"I support validating Shawn's belt claims based on external evidence. First, he is on the list <https://ibjjf.com/certified-black-belts>. Also, Smoothcomp confirms his 1st-degree black belt promotion on October 4, 2025, by Rigan Machado, with competitions as black belt since 2023. FloGrappling and IBJJF results verify his belt progression: blue in 2014-2016 (e.g., Pan 2016), purple in 2017-2018 (e.g., Pan 2018), brown in 2018-2021 (e.g., World Master 2021), black in 2023-2025 (e.g., World No-Gi 2025). Times served exceed IBJJF minimums. Derek Cleveland (3rd-degree black belt) and Rigan Machado (coral belt) are legitimate promoters."
"Social media looks on point. "
"Lots of high quality photo evidence. Legit!"
"I don't know Shawn, but there seems to be enough evidence to verify rank. :)"
