dude, big nog is the interim champ, anderson is middleweight champ and if machida takes the light heavy crown,............. that's 3 champs in one camp!! i'm not sure if they still train together but at least at one point they did and they're all frenz, but that'd be dope

Yes they all still train together and help each other prepair for fights. Anderson was in Lyoto's corner during the Soko fight in January and Big Nog was in his corner during the Tito fight. Casa Preta (Black House) is IMO the best camp in the world right now. Also in the same camp besides the fighters that you mentioned already is the former UFC champ and current Cage Rage LHW champ Vitor Belfort and WEC middleweight champ Paulo Filho (16-0) and trust me Dana White has not brought him over to the UFC yet because he knows Paulo and Anderson would never fight each other. Big Nog and Anderson just opened a Gym together in Miami 2 weeks ago and all of them have actually said during interviews in the last year that they would like to move to the US. I guess establishing a fight camp in Miami is the first step for all of them to be able to move.

They are 50 pounds apart in weight so no athletic commission would sanction the fight more then likely. Also besides that the fight actually already happened in march of 05 outside the UFC at an K-1 event with K-1 rules and Lyoto beat BJ by a 3 round decision.
b-man;1834025; said:no i mean the BJ of today, he didn't take it seriously back than. bj and lyoto can met half way inthe middle.
plus didn't he just challenge GSP again?
He did, and I think it's stupid. I don't like how fighters who are dominant in their class either call out, or are pushed to the idea of fighting other dominant fighters of other weight classes. I think if these fights happen they drag down the sport. If you are on top in your class, stay on top, keep beating who they put in front of you untill you can't anymore. There is no need to start swapping guys around, find better fighters in that particular class, their out there.

i'm a fan of both bj and machida,........... but i think machida is just too big for bj. his natural size is just bigger and with the skills he has he'll either stop or decision every time.
