Plenty of guys do well in practice but can't get it done in competition. Some guys do well in competition but don't have experience outside of that. If X-degree black belt has never mixed it up in a dark, dirty bar in the early hours of the morning, then I sure as hell wouldn't count of him in that situation. Training in and of itself is NOT experience.
