Made another visit to the Brazilian Top Team school in Long Beach to film a real brief interview with Murilo and Marcelo Perdomo (runs the BTT Long Beach school).
I gotta go back and look at the video, but I do remember a few things off the head. It looks like he will be fighting in the Pride MW tournament in February. He said that it's supposed to be a TRUE middleweight tournament at his weight so he won't have to fight guys who got a weight advantage. I think he said 83 kilo's would be the weight limit. Nothing set it strong, but he really wants this all to come together.
Regarding Vitor Belfort and his status with BTT. He said that Vitor and the team have been talking and it looks like pretty definite that he will be a BTT member again and they look forward to getting good training with him once again.
Murilo has been doing a round of seminars throughout the states and said they hope to have BTT schools all over the place as long as the quality is maintained at a high level. I don't remember all the locations but he said they got a place in Kansas, Montreal, Boston (I think) in addition to the new place in Long Beach.
I may thrown in some of the footage as a bonus for our upcoming DVD-Magazine to go with a ton of instructional footage we shot in the last few months.
If anybody gets a chance to train at a seminar of his I'd highly recommend it, also, if you have the money for it, the whole BTT camp thing that he talked about sounded like a great experience for anybody who wanted to go to Brazil and learn from the heads of BTT themselves.
