I am going to be attacked for this but...

[Avraham]

Is Greg Jackson's camp everything everyone makes it out to be?

I know Holms trains there and she won the belt. I know Jones trains there and he is a beast.

AA also trains there. He might have gone on a significant bounce back/win streak after being expected to give up, ever since starting at Jackson's, but he also isn't the brutal, confident, unpredictable fighter he use to be. He is a predictable, hesitant fighter now days. Ever since being at Jackson's?

 

[Brit_Brawler]

So you are basing the reputation of Jackson wink on an over the hill fighters performances who has been around since practically the dark ages? Not to mention he's been banged out more times than I can recall.

 

[bettergenes]

Do you think that a conscious, normal man would play a real Russian Roulette after a loss in the sport?
There you have your answer about AA.

 

[Reach4theSky]

A camp can only take you so far, you also have to be talented.

 

[Platinum]

They usually have great gameplans. That being said, some of their fighters are past their prime (AA for example) or too one dimensional (Holm) so Jones is rightfully the only one holding gold at the moment. They need more young promising prospects.

 

[cigano]

You deserve a slap on the buttcheek for this nonsense.

 

[DorianGray]

I have no personal experience, nor have I looked at any stats for how well their fighters perform. That said, based on results that come to mind they seem to be a top camp. I have no idea how it compares to other camps like AKA, tristar, etc.. though.

 

[Iroh]

Yeah, if not for Jackson's AA would've be done long ago, IMO.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

A camp can only take you so far, you also have to be talented.

Very true.

 

[focal]

Yeah and he's also almost 40, chin deteriorated and USADA happened. That might have something to do with him not looking like a berserker.

Certainly I don't think Arlovski is as well suited to Jacksons as Jones or Overeem, his chin obviously isn't great but really his best performances have always been aggressive.

Add in of course ARlovski is in his late 30's now and isn't as fast and powerful as he was in the mid/late 00's.
