Melvin Guillard seems pretty pumped about his change of camps, forced or not.

He's got a lot of good things to say about ATT ahead of his fight with Ross Pearson, so I guess we'll see what happens when it comes down to fight time!

Says the level is so good it even sent him home one day reconsidering whether fighting was for him! :eek:

Growing up, I always wanted to be a part of ATT seeing all those guys, but back in the States I was always given so much false information about the team. It kinda steered me away from going there. This time I was kind of forced because I had nowhere else to go at that moment, and I got to see how it was and that everyone had been lying to me. That was kind of cool. You could say it was meant for me to end up there. It just happened.

I doubt it's any better than Jackson's but what do you expect him to say about the only gym left for him to train at?
 
idk if all thats true but hopefully melvin can hit another stride, hes always fun to watch
 
Considering no other camp wants him there, what else can he say?

"ATT sucks, but nobody else will have me, so it works."

...doesn't have the same ring to it.
 
Fuck... I like both him and Pearson. Don't want either of them losing.
 
I'm not a big fan of ATT for some reason, the team is a shark camp for sure, though.
 
Thiago released that video a few weeks back, showed alot of monsters training there. ATT looks intense.
 
I've had two friends train at the mediocre ATT facility in Cincinnati, Ohio and within two weeks of training they were approached and encouraged to use steroids. The one that turned them down was ultimately made to feel uncomfortable to the point that they quit attending the gym. The other went on to compile an astounding 0-2-0 amateur record before calling it quits. I was closer to the one that turned them down than I was the one who went along with it but fortunately he didn't continue to take them. The whole experience was really conflicting for him and played a large part into why he quit training and planning to fight.
 
interesting how there's a quote of him saying he'd have knocked out melendez or sanchez in their fight and how he beat up diego in training and then a quote of him admitting how he gets his butt whipped in training at his new camp. i was hoping for melvin v diego, but now ive changed my mind and i want to see diego v whoever is beating up melvin sparring.

EDIT: sorry i read your post incorrectly so we said the same thing. i think cerrone said he tooled melvin in training or something too right? im not positive on who said what, but i do seem to recall that was part of their build up to their fight and i thought maybe cowboy had said he tooled melvin or something?

at any rate, i feel like it's more of a pre-fight buildup tactic when two people who have trained together start talking smack about beating one another up. when i hear fighters talk about what they did to someone in training i consider it a cheap shot. people get bested in training all the damn time. if you aren't getting bested, then why are you training because all you are doing is making everyone better while you stay the same or even get worse? and if you are secretly tallying up how many times you got the best of someone in an artificial environment where it is understood that all you are doing is training, then you probably have the wrong mindset for training and are not a great training partner in my opinion. i know it's impossible not to feel good when you hit a sub and you realize who you are able to do that to in training, but when it comes to training, you never know when someone is working on something specific or are even wanting to get into bad positions or bad sparring scenarios to work on something. okay enough of the soapbox.
 
ATT in Florida has lots of skilled fighters around his weight. Masvidal, Piorier, Alves, Lawler, Straus, Lentz, Brown, Brooks, Newell, Jenkins, Bektic, Lombard.

That's a pretty ruthless line-up, the Millers in and out of there too. The main ATT would be way different to any other satellite schools for sure.
 
Melvin is always excited when he changes camps.
For some reason I thought he was cut.....
