It appears that way, however:
Nog’s team of coaches doesn’t really have a lot of coaching experience at all, whereas Drysdale trains people at EC, and Alejarra is a professional trainer.
We’ll see how it works out, sure Nog’s team has star power… but can they coach?

i like nog’s team better, but your right patrick it might not translate into more wins for his team, and i still hate that they use the champ in these shows.

I LIKE nogS teams

I wonder how many Brazilans will be TUF fighters? Communications on Nog’s team may be a problem.

Deakson, that was an amazingly epic fail right there. You tried to bitch at “Dane Drebin” about his poor typing and managed to put out a grammatically worse and more English butchering post than him by far, in fact I’m not even sure I understand the point you attempt to make in your post, whereas I was at least able to glean the point of post you so callously have mocked sir.
Learn to fucking type people, it’s not rocket science.

DAMN!!!! Enough Said

Some of the best coaches in the world dont compete. Like Greg Jackson. Sometimes you don’t know who the better coaches are. But that said, I would love to learn a thing or two from Anderson Silva and Machida.
