Van Ardale left a week or so ago I believe.

Also I'm pretty sure Tyrone Spong trains there now.

Van Arsdale left to see his family more since they are located in Arizona. Here is a news article on it.

My bad I got Saki and Spong mixed up you were right, but I do see fighters from the same gym fight each other more often in K-1.

I was more a K-1 in the early and mid 2000's so there are a few guys that I am less associated with that I get mixed up with lately especially in the K-1 Max crop of fighters.

Shields trains with the Scrap Pack, unless something happened since Saturday

Michael Johnson and Daniel Swain do however train there. Swain usually when he is in a pre-fight camp other than that he is in Washington.

BigFoot only trained there til Allistair came in then he left because of the conflict with having to fight each other.

Slight difference between training camps and managing agencies.  In Shields corner last weekend was Gil Melendez not anyone from Florida. He is still entrenched in the Scrap Pack. If he did train with the Blackzillians that would explain his piss poor performance against Akiyama, lol.  I dont see how that camp is still active they have a poor win rate and I think that is being nice about how they perform when the cage is shut.
