"I've offered to check additional evidence, which you've made very clear you see yourself as above providing (and not with much of humility or manners). Gordy Flam is NOT listed among Rigan Machado's black belts (see http://www.riganbjj.com/rigan-machado-black-belts.html), so it's up to you to show that he really is (and was since no later than nov 2018). Also, you have still not provided any evidence of him actually having promoted you. That's not saying anything about your competition skills, which I'm sure are excellent and if the vote was about your competition merits, it could be easily checked and up voted by me. But now, it's your promotion history which I'm voting on and you really have not provided the requested evidence for me to be able to verify that. If you change your mind about actually providing evidence, I'll gladly review my vote."

"Add more supporting evidence and I will change my vote. It was hard to find credentials to your professor as well. Is he a second degree black belt or do you have proof of permission to promote? "

"IBJJF accepts his rank. "

"Well done, OSS"

"I don't know James, but there seems to be enough evidence to verify rank. :)"

"Looks legit 👊👍"
