"Lineage appears to be non legit. Please add full lineage to your profile plus information if Rick got his degrees through any other lineage than that of Lasu Rogers. Also see https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&type=1&id=35802&page=1"
ESRick is under Professor Kevin Conan Benkins, who is a black belt under Royce Gracie. See here: http://bankensmma.com/

JNo, he's not under Royce. Royce has all his BB:s listed here, and Kevin is not on the list (https://www.roycegraciejj.com/black-belt-list-1). From what I've understood, he did a Combatives course under a Royce affiliate (not with Royce ever meeting him personally?) , where no one promoted him and no one checked his prior BB credentials. But I'm open to any evidence which points in another direction, if you can provide links etc.

JDoes he claim to be of Royce Gracie lineage?

ESJohan, please see this linked thread that includes pictures of Benkins being belted by Royce himself. https://www.beltchecker.com/forum.php?p=read&id=69062&type=1&page=1

ESAdditionally, if you have any additional questions I urge you to contact Benkins directly, as well as Royce.

JEthan has provided evidence suggesting a much closer connection to Royce than the evidence I found through Google showed. Have to sleep now, but I'll get on it tomorrow and hope I can reverse this and some other votes soon!

JOh sorry, it was Alex who provided the new evidence.
