Why isn’t anyone talking about all the losses Pat Miletich’s camp has been racking up recently? What happend? Are we suppose to consider him a bad coach now? Being considered a great coach takes long dedication and a consistent record. It’s ridiculous to think any coach will be able to completely dominate a complicated sport such as mma.

It’s ridiculous that anyone would think Jackson’s camp is “struggling”. Marquardt lost to Anderson Silva, for crying out loud. That doesn’t reflect badly on anyone. Rashad went to a draw with Tito Ortiz–again, no one can say that that is a poor performance–especially when the same people are all on Forrest’s bandwagon.

All of Jackson’s top people (including GSP now) are still top contenders. It’s ludicrous for anyone to think that you have to have MFS-level success (with 3 or 4 concurrent champions) to be a top camp. Dummies.

[...] GSP valde att ansluta till Greg Jacksons camp i Albuquerque (efter att Diego “Nightmare Sanchez lÃƒÂ¤mnat) och menar att “Jag ÃƒÂ¤r tillbaka pÃƒÂ¥ banan och har bra trÃƒÂ¤ningspartners. Med dem har jag fixat alla problemen.” -Inside Fighting. Det har inte gÃƒÂ¥tt sÃƒÂ¥ bra fÃƒÂ¶r de fighters frÃƒÂ¥n campen pÃƒÂ¥ senaste…men det ÃƒÂ¤r ett kapitel fÃƒÂ¶r sig sjÃƒÂ¤lvt… [...]

For me, I think it’s not so much about this one fight but St. Pierre’s longevity at the top of this game. It just seems like right now GSP would need a champion who’s been there, done that to mentor him at this crucial point in his career and life. The guy’s 26 years old, and this is a very important stage in his growth not only as a fighter but as a man. I don’t think any influence would be better for him than Randy Couture’s but who the hell knows? Maybe I’m reading into it too much. GSP is one of my favorite fighters, and I’d really like to see some changes in him. I’ve always thought he was a little too soft inside, which made me wonder about him once his winning streak came to an end. I think everyone wrote off his loss to Hughes, so Serra was GSP’s first real defeat, and it came in devastating fashion. I won’t know for another few years whether my concerns about GSP were valid though.

Take someone like BJ Penn on the other hand, who is just a crazy man. I never worry about him. His mind isn’t affected by losing, or winning for that matter. He just fights. Any bass-ass nutcase who would take a 55 frame and fight in 70, 85 and in heavyweight, doesn’t care about losing. Haha, BJ, what a nut.

Anyway, fighters change camps all the time, so it’s not like St. Pierre is tattooing “Greg Jackson” all over his body. He may be a part of Xtreme Couture or Team Quest in the future. I just hope he finds a camp that will bring out in him his full potential, because I’m curious to see what that is.

I think people are too hard on the jackson camp here, he’s a trainer not a magician, nate in my opinion was out of him league with silva, it my book clearly not greg jackson’s fault. Gsp lost his last fight because he made a mistike, ducked and got hit which to me had nothing to do with his training he simply got caught, end of story. I really don’t think rashad would have done any better training at a different camp, to be honest I think GSP is jacksons only top fighter in that camp. People would be saying how great jackson is if rampage and Anderson silva were fighting there, but its really only because there top fighters. When GSP totally destroys koscheck jackson will get his credit but to me GSP would have done the same thing where ever he trained.

[quote comment="131234"]xcouture/chute box would benefit GSP the most

Greg Jacksons gonna make him climb that dumb ass mountain, and then loose!

Everyone who has talked about training on that damn mountain in the past 6 months has lost (rashad fought to a draw)

GSP please stay away from that mountain[/quote]

John, hahaha, hilarious. That damn mountain. GSP will come in for the weigh-in at like 162 or some crap like that.

people knock jackson because his fighters may not preform the best.. CMON guys .. you cant blame anyone’s preformance on jackson.. when that fighter gets to the cage Its up to the fighter to preform his best. a coach can only do so much..

Good for GSP. He could train with anyone and still be a top fighter in his division.
