    Big bear is a high altitude training location in the mountains in California. Oscar Dela hoya trains there as does Tito Ortiz and Rampage before he went to Wolfslair. Eat sleep and train kinda place

    I think the OP is referring to the best training camp as in a gym set up in which case it would be either Jacksons or ATT.

    I've a lot of time for SBG, I've done a LOT of training with various SBG heads, but they don't to my knowledge have many (any?) top level MMA competitors.

    Tom Egan is not a "top level MMA competitor". If you want to say he is a "top level MMA competitor", no problem, we are in agreement.

    My problem with Xtreme Couture is that it's a franchise, so the quality may not be consistent in each gym.

    with regards to the Tom Egan comments on the thread, I would imagine that people are considering a "top level MMA competitor" to be somebody who competes and can hold their own with the best in the world at their weight class on a regular and consistant basis, thus GSP, Anderson Silva etc.

    In this sense, Tom is not a "top level MMA competitor", nor is it an insult to say so

    These things change all the time, Camp Miletich at one point had 3 UFC world champs under one roof, now they're profile isn't so high. As for the other thing, I think people are being too defensive, Egan would be top level in Ireland no doubt, maybe Europe, but not world level just yet. Discussing local fighters isn't allowed by the rules anyway (i think).

    Do you really think he is a top level MMA competitor and that I'm just being mean?

    Or does it upset you that I am being realistic?

    to be able to class who and who isn't top class either locally, nationally or internationally.

    Yes nationally and I have no doubt the best is yet to come.

    Maybe its the history of bashing the fighter in question here, do I recall a banning for it in the past.

    I do not need to be a top level MMA competitor to understand who is or isn't a top level MMA competitor.

    You're not making any sense.

    You have me confused with someone else.

    The only time I have ever said anything negative about any fighter in this forum is when I questioned Tom promoting his religion on his website. As someone with an interest in marketing, I did not think it was a good move.

    I would love if he becomes a great, successful fighter, but he is not at that stage yet.

    Stating that a fighter is not a top level competitor (he's not) is not fighter bashing, simply putting forward an opinion

    have you ever watced any professional sport and passed comment on it? that what fans do, all the time, or do you think that the only people allowed to discuss the UFC and its fighters, should be those who have competed professionally, or better yet, only those who have competed in the UFC itself.

    Blackhouse, Jackson's camp and probably MFS even though the guys from there have fallen from grace slightly.

    Just for the record, I don't want to get involved with the other debate, but if you're a public figure, then you are there to be commented on, good and bad. And I say that as someone who knows and likes Tom. I think it's fair to say that the guys defending him train at his gym or are his mates.
