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.

People serious about their training don't go to "dark dirty bars" in the wee hours of the morning...
At the end of the day, training only adds to your skill. Yes, experience is good, but not everyone is lucky enough to get it. But by choice, everyone can train and even become a decent fighter if they work hard.
People who mock training don't command much intelligence in my eyes...
