"Nice profile."
"I have known Josh since high school. Very accomplished collegiate wrestler. Highly competent BJJ black belt."
"Good dude and legit "
"Long time friend, legit!"
"verified"
"Legit profile congrats on the stripe"
"I don’t know Josh but people that vote for him is very legit so no question about josh :) "
"I validate Josh Pulsifer's black belt 2nd degree promotion by Blake Hayes at Platypus BJJ in Bartlesville, OK, around April 2025 (announced publicly in December 2025), 1st degree in 2022, black in 2019, and earlier belts, based on Instagram announcements of his 2nd degree after 20 years (matching 2005 start), consistent listings as black belt under Hayes on academy sites and Facebook, indirect evidence from promoting students to black/brown since 2019, MMA background confirming Tulsa affiliations, reasonable timelines, and no contradictions found."
"No doubt absolutely legit"
"Lots of high quality photo evidence. Legit!"
