Game-planning/cornering.

[teammb1]

Michael Johnson has done very well and besides Rashads most recent fight he looked like a monster. Abel Trujillo looked like a beast in his last fight as well

They have Mario Sperry so I though when Overeem took bigfoot down he would wear him out and go for a sub. Rashad has good wrestling skill so I thought he would take down Nog and go or a sub. WRONG It must be an elite club to try and lure in Florida's elite babes.

no gym is gonna start up and automatically rule in the UFC, it takes time people.

Shit game planning so far, Rash should of spammed for take downs early on in the fight instead he chose to go 3 rounds patty caking and losing the exchanges.

Reem stood there with his hands down against a heavyweight with big power.

Some fighters are doing ok there, others aren't. Those who aren't like Guillard would have lost most of the fights he lost with the Blackzillians even if he were at another gym. Guys like Donald Cerrone just has the advantage over him in almost every category. He was cocky and over confident in the Lauzon fight and that's partially why he lost, but let's be honest it's not like Lauzan didn't have the advantage in the BJJ game and had a good chance of winning that fight. Alot of people just lost sight of that fact because of all the hype Melvin was getting at the time.

As far as Jim Miller and Jamie Varner, they both have good wrestling which is Melvin's weakness. So it's no surprise he lost those fights, even if he was training with Greg Jackson he'd probably still have lost those fights.

People are saying the Blackzilians have a bad camp when really the fights that some of the fighters are losing they likely wouldn't have won no matter what camp they were in.

their gameplan should improve

I've said it many times before: too many cooks. Well, too many big name cooks in the same kitchen. It's hard to imagine superstars like Rashad, Overeem, Vitor, Guillard and Rumble hanging together in harmony. Not only fighters, even some of the trainers are big names ex-fighters: Fabio Melo, Marcus Aurelo, Tyron Spong; all in the same room!

Ego clashes, power struggles, curtain lifts and friendship forsaken, we've all seen it already at Imperial Athletics, sorry at Blackzillians. In fact, most of the fighters and crew left other gyms to join Imperials, most of them in bad terms if you look at it attentively...

Why are you guys so intent on putting a super negative spin on everything?

It's a fucking competition. Some will win and some will lose. There will be streaks, peaks and valleys.

Vultures mentality is nuts with you guys
