I've said it before I didn't think the definitive answer for Shogun was just to go to the US to train.  But I do like the sounds of this, Kings MMA seems to be blowing up and training with some new high level guys and actually having a coach sound be beneficial for Shogun

Thanks for the Thread. Hopefully this helps him not just now...but in the long run as well.

Funny that when he gets a fight in Brazil, he goes to the U.S. to train.  But to not have a coach for a major UFC fight is crazy, so this sounds like a good move for him.

probably a good move getting out of Brazil..things could be pretty nuts there (press and fans wise) leading up to the fight

Good move, maybe he can get some of that fire back, though I'm not sure he's training was the only issue. He's looked like trash after long lay offs due to knee surgery in the past. Hopefully his knee can stay healthy and he can avoid these lay offs and get into a grove.
