"Legit profile congrats on the brown"

"Cooper's belt progressions align with IBJJF guidelines, exceeding minimums: over 2 years white to blue, over 3 years blue to purple, over 2 years purple to brown. IBJJF records confirm his 2025 Paris Open gold as brown in Master 2 ultra-heavy (post-July 2025 promotion). Paulinho Correa is a 3rd degree black belt since 2013 in France per Pro Connection Arts website and his own Instagram. Cooper's reported purple belt promoter, Greg Morel competed as black belt in CFJJB Paris and IBJJF Euros since at least 2022. Cooper's blue belt promoter, Pape Guisse holds 2nd degree black per Smoothcomp. Cooper's earlier white belt results in 2019-2020 AJP and CFJJB events consistent with dates and corroborate his reported start dates as a white belt. I wish Cooper would make this easier for reviewers, but personally I am comfortable verifying."
