Fighters that should switch camps
 
Some fighters I think should be training with other camps then they are. For example I don't mean to seem like I talk about Leben half the time,but dude should not be training with Matt Hume or Team Quest anymore.I think he should try to get in with Chuck to sharpen his striking.Leben does nothing but sprawl and brawl but he doesn't do it as well as Chuck.He doesn't use a lot of grappling,sometimes he gets on top and in the guard but he mostly likes to stand up and strike when he is on offense so why work with a guy like Matt Hume? I don't know who Bisping is working with I don't think he is still with Team Punishment but I could be wrong but he is another I think should look to see if he could work with Chuck or Miletich.

i'm pretty sure bisping trains in the wolfslair gym still. there's not a lot of great fighters out of england though, so it would make sense for a fighter of his potential to come to the states and join a gym. but as for leben, i think he's pretty safe in quest. one of the only better places to go is miletich but i dont think they would take him nor do i think he could handle their lifestyle, to be honest. and i'm sure chuck doesn't just train any guy that asks.

I think Leben has been traning with AKA latley. Which is a great camp. As far as other fighters switching camps i would say anybody with potential at the Lions Den should find a new gym.

I think any of the younger Gracie's should switch camps. I mean seriously, you know all the jujitsu that you are gonna know, and you're so young, liker Rener or Roger. Of course, it will never happen, but as much as it pains me to see, the Gracie's are in a terrible state of denial in the MMA arena. If they aren't gonna change their gameplan, they should stick with grappling only tournaments like ADCC.

I thought he was training with Matt Hume I couldn't possibly imagine him training with AKA.Kos trains with AKA and they hate each other.

Tanner needs to go back to Team Quest.

I could be wrong but im pretty sure he was training with them on atleast on a part time basis. But like i said i could be wrong. Tanner just needs to find a good camp and stick with them. Im not even sure where's he's training now.
