I really like some of what he said. I appreciate when fighters are brutally honest about their own shortcomings, and to see he is now considering uprooting to find better training to improve makes me like him alot more. Good luck to him. After so long out it could have been easy to come back, have a setback, and call it a day. But he really seems to want to crack on and get better.

I hate to use this cliche term, but what a classy guy.

True statements, other fighters could learn from this kind of sportsmanship. I have a lot of respect for this.

I agree with everyone else as well.


I like Okami a lot. I think he's right on the money with his thoughts about changing camps as well. He needs to train with bigger people here in the states if he wants to get out of this slump. I think Quest, Extream Couture or Jacksons camps would be great for him. Facing bigger stronger wrestlers on a regular basis like he would at these camps would keep what happened in his fight with Sonnen on Sat. from happening on a regular basis.

I like Okami too. Sounds like another fighter on his way to Greg Jackson, lol.

Yeah... everyone should train with Greg Jackson.

But then no one would fight each other...

But everyone would know how to beat each other...

What a conundrum.
