WEC featherweight contender Leonard Garcia got a nice pre-Christmas present when he last arrived at Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico: a fresh brown belt.
To clarify, Garcia says it's a brown belt in jiu-jitsu. He had been a purple belt for one and a half years, and had all the stripes to prove it.
Clay Pittman, a third degree black belt under Carlos Machado, and Greg Jackson, founder of Jackson's MMA, awarded the advancement to Garcia.
"I had this big certificate waiting for me when I got there," Garcia said. "That was a real honor."
Garcia will definitely put his belt to the test should he face new WEC featherweight champ Mike Brown in 2009.

What is Gaidojitsu??? Something different than jiu jitsu???
Confused????
Gaidojutsu translates to 'Way of the Street', according to Greg Jackson. He calls his style of training 'Scientific Streetfighting'.
