Happens at pretty much every gym.

If it doesn't, you either have really bad coaches or really bad members.
 
Shlemenko - Koreshkov.

I don't care if I spelled that shit wrong.
 
I'm not sure DC is better than Cain though. I'd put Cain above him and if I remember right even DC said Cain beats him.
 
Carwin trained Big Brown Schaub and Schaub became better than him....or atleast, that's what he told me.
 
So, I don't even like Giblert but to say that Nate is "better" than him is certainly arguable. I would say Melendez is more accomplished even if he isn't as big a draw as Nate, and Melendez actually won the title and has a much better record so I am going to Gib on this one.

*edit - I should clarify that it was the Strikeforce title but it's still a higher accomplishment than Nate.
 
Matt Hughes --> Robbie lawler
 
DC is not better than Cain imo. But good thread idea ts. I like it.
 
Melendez and Nate? How?? Melendez is a former Strikeforce LW champ and fought for the UFC belt twice.
