pretty basic question what are some of your favorite MMA teams and gyms? but to add some substance do you find your self liking some of your favorite fighters teammates brothers etc just because of their association? 
I don't really consider any of their fighters my favorites but Nova Uniao is probably my favorite team right now, I'm completely stoked about Shogun going there to finish his training camp
despite the recent issues Dana has with them I really like Golden Glory, and am fans over Overeem, Coenen and Bahadurzada
Not really sure if you can call them a "team" but I really like the group that Cordeiro has put together at Kings MMA

I support AKA because ive always lived in SJ. not really a Fitch or Koscheck fan but I usually root for them.

I think for me, I use gyms to follow prospects. Prospects from certain camps will get more time in my eyes, just because of the camp. But once a fighter proves himself, he could self-train and I'd still follow him. And as for "camp brothers", There are some camps that have fighters I both like and dislike. Like Minnesota has Lesnar and Sherk. Hate Lesnar but love Sherk.

I like the fighters that Duke Roufus puts out. They are very entertaining and likable fighters. Pat Barry, Anthony Pettis, Alan Belcher, Erik Koch, Daniel Downes, and I have also heard that Bonnar trains with them some.

My favorite team is definitely Alpha Male. I like all their guys. A lot of my top fighters seem to be from Jackson's as well looking at my list...

I mostly like guys for their personality and fight styles. Association doesn't really matter to me though, but it seems most people from the same camps have similar styles, so if I like one I usually like the others.

Yes, he does. The roof at the HP Pavilion is gonna get blown off when he comes in to defend his title.

Tri-star gym. As far as teams go there are a lot of great teams and coaches out there. AKA, Greg Jacksons team, Xtreme Coutore and that team down in Florida that Mike Van Arsdale is putting together looks pretty damn good. Matt Serra has some good talent coming from his place as well.

@tlocke, I respect the fighters coming out of that camp, but I just can't stand some of their attitudes. Actually it is really just Nick.

Team ROC, first and foremost.

I used to be a big supporter of Miletich Fighting Systems, back when they had Spencer Fisher, Jens Pulver, Robbie Lawler, Matt Hughes, Jeremy Horn, etc.  I haven't heard a whole lot about that team in particular anymore.  It seems that all of the big names have gone elsewhere. 

I wouldn't say that I support teams so much in MMA, as much as I support individual fighters.  But I guess the teams that come to mind first would be Jackson's MMA, American Top Team, and pretty much any Gracie-affiliated team.
