Oakleys, do your homework, Nog is an amazing coach, him and his brother have their own style of jiu jitsu, he is a better coach than a fighter I say… both silva and Nog are coaches, u can find coaching videos on the internet from both of them… and machida is a double black belt, so yeh, Id have to say the brazillian team is stacked. wouldnt want to be on mir’s team

Just because Silva and nog and them are good fighters does not mean they are good coaches. Nog has heart and determination and that can’t be taught. I think Mirs staff is just as good if not better because they actually coach.

Why is everyone talking about Machida? The chance to train with Anderson Silva and Nogueira is something I would give my left nut for. I donâ€™t care if the third coach is Hulk Hogan.

I feel bad for Team Mir. Going on to the show will anyone even want to train with that team?

The ONLY person here who ISN’T Brazilian IS Mir. Both of his coaches are Brazilian. I personally know conditioning coach Rafael Alejarra and he is one of the best in the sport. He trains Wanderlei Silva and has for a while. He is no joke. So it should be a good season..

This could be the best season yet if they stay in a technique mode only. Also someone teach Machida the phrase”Do as I say not as I do…”

Mir is getting a title shot because he was the former champ and there is no one else in that division that has drawing power. Half of the hw division are new comers and/or one shot wonders. They fight once and then leave. Alot of the good heavy weights have left to fight elsewhere.

I don’t think anyone is say that, but more impressed with the other teams credentials…

if anyone thinks that mir’s assistant, drysdale, isn’t bringing anything to the table is wrong! to win the abu dabi 2007 submission championship is a HUGE title! almost every big time fighter has tried… and failed!

i agree 2girls1cup. I cant stand Frank Mir, for a start why is he getting a title shot, c’mon he fought a newby to the sport and just about managed to sink in an ankle lock that is not worth a title shot! I hope Nog destroys him. I’d much rather be on Nog’s team, specialist karate coach (machida), muay thai (silva and jui jitsu (nog). WOW!!
