I went to his facebook page and didn't see anything posted, I think someone is just being a dickhead and starting rumors.
A Russian poster on another forum claims that he spoke to Gatsalov at a meet last year. According to the poster, this dude doesn't even follow MMA. He also said that the claims about Gatsalov being a black belt are laughable because the guy doesn't train Judo or Sambo and apparently has never heard of BJJ. It's just what some random dude on the UG posted, but he called bull**** when people were still repeating the rumor.
Looks like its false, c'mon Beouche! :twisted: http://twitter.com/#!/SBNLukeThomas/statuses/127483206831325184
