BJ Penn has sub'd Ken Flo, Matt Hughes, and Joe Stevenson
Maia has tapped how many BJJ black belts? 3?
Sakuraba has tapped Royler, Renzo, and Conan Silveira but was nearly tapped by Allan Goes.
Rumina Sato has tapped Yves Edwards (bb?), John Lewis, Ricardo Bothelo
Yoshida has subbed Royce Gracie
Lindland has tapped Travis Lutter and Fabio Leopoldo.
BJ Penn seems to have the highest quality taps.
You ask and answer yourself? Why post at all?
Maybe there was someone he missed? Why did you post?
I don't think Hughes was a blackbelt. Yves was a bluebelt at the time and that was immediately following a pretty good heatbutt, and Royce did not submit, it was a ref stoppage. I don't think Conan was a BJJ blackbelt at the time, I think Carlson called him a black belt in MMA.
Nate Diaz has submitted Kurt Pellgrino, Junior Assuncao and Alvin Robinson
i'm pretty sure alvin robinson was a brown belt at the time
Matt Hughes is not a black belt
Has to be Sakuraba.
Carlos Newton has some submissions over high level grapplers though I'm unsure of their rank. He's submitted Eric Paulson and Pat Militich.
lets only count it if the subee was a bb at the time
anderson silva tapped travis lutter
cole miller tapped jorge gurgel
Matt Hughes is not a black belt

Conan just got his 7th degree so Im pretty sure he was a BB when he fought Saku
Imanari has ripped a couple legs apart (Gurgel, some others IIRC)
Rumina Sato also tapped Bao Quach and Rafael Cordeiro, not sure of their ranks.
BruceLeeMMAfighting - Imanari has ripped a couple legs apart (Gurgel, some others IIRC)
yeah, i think jean silva is a black belt
Imanari also submitted Hiroshi Umemura, and Renato Tavares but I don't know if he was a black belt at the time.
don't know but likely someone current because of the increased number of black belts doing mma.
Neither Royler nor Renzo submitted vs. Sak -- ref stoppage in each case if memory is correct.May be splitting hairs, but OP used "tapped"; neither Gracie actually tapped.
imanari
carlos newton was brown belt.
When Sakuraba submitted Conan, I think that was the first time a non BJJ black belt submitted a BJJ black belt in modern MMA.
smoogy - Nate Diaz has submitted Kurt Pellgrino, Junior Assuncao and Alvin Robinson
Junior and alvin were brown belts at the time, but both are now black belts
