I agree too that Royce is still awesome. People can think what they want of him, but the fact is that he knows his jiu-jitsu. Sure, he is not as aggressive as some of the fighters today, and also not as cross trained as some. However, the fact that his less aggressive style can still enable him to hold his own shows that he really does have his techniques down. Same goes for Royler. Sure he's lost a few, but he's won many more. Royce also is not a big guy at all, and the fact that his techniques can allow him to even fight against bigger guys shows something too.
As stated earlier, it's inevitable that there will be a number of black belts out there that should not be. But I also don't think bjj will suffer the same fate as TKD. BJJ has been proven many times over to be effective and there are still a number of highly qualified black belts that will balance out the fakers.
