TricksRX Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Self-explanatory: Diego is back with Greg Jackson which is a smart move on his part I think. Hopefully this will get him back to the winning route. 2 people that come to mind though when it comes to possibly switching camps is Brandon Vera and Rampage. Brandon I think has the tools but needs a camp that can help put them together for him. As for Rampage, he'll always have that KO power but if he loses to Machida in a poor fashion I think he needs to call it quits with Wolfslair. My 2 cents.

BadSquire Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Wolfslair is not evolving Rampage, they are just honing his skills... He needs a camp willing to EVOLVE him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasCityKing Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I think more fighters need to go international. Obviously the brits are at the top of that list since so few of them have decent ground games and could definately benefit from work with some American wrestlers or Brazilian BJJ guys. The same goes for wrestlers like Sonnen or Brock they would do well to go down and train with Brazilians like Munoz and vice versa with guys like Maia and Werdum.

BadSquire Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Munoz isn't brazilian, and hes an olympic wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurilio Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I think all fighters could benefit from switching camps. Examples... Wolfslair - Boxing/Kickboxing Greg Jackson - Wrestling and a little bit of everything else. American Top Team - BJJ/Muay Thai Team Black House - BJJ/Striking American Kickboxing Academy - Wrestling and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted_Mind Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I think more people should go to holland to train, since there comes the best kick boxers. Its same thing as you would go to brazil to train bjj. But if diego trains at jacksons and gsp trains at jacksons and diego moved back to welterweight it makes no sense what so ever.

That's why Kos and Cain haven't improved their wrestling much but have drastically increased their striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it teaches more striking. And i know nothing about the camp. I am just assuming by looking at it's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cung Le, Buentello, and Kyle all train there too and none of them have turned into great wrestlers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that being said does anyone believe 10th planet is the best BJJ place ever? I think its better for guys that already have a black belt and want to practice the funky positions they like to do. I wouldn't suggest someone go there to learn the basics.
