A red belt is at least 67 years old. His joints are probably in a used state after 58 years of training. His fitness isn't as good either because in theory his heartrate doesn't get over 153. A younger, heavier, faster and fitter blue belt could wear down an old guy and tap him out before the end of the round. This doesn't mean that technically the red belt is not excellent, it just means he knows his joints, physical limits and is taking it easy so he can come back and train the next day.
In any case, I'd try my luck with Eddie Bravo but I'd respectfully not submit a Grand Master(even if I could).
