Just read on his FB page that he is no longer managed by Ed Soares.
What say you all.
I know a lot of people here hate Ed. I personally never had an issue with him but I can't wait to hear the reason! 
I don't hate Ed. but whatever helps jds.
I wonder if more guys will separate from him in the near future
I curious as to what led to this. He's had great success to date.
These splits are usually financially driven but I'm purely speculating.
Lehman - I wonder if more guys will separate from him in the near future
I wonder the same thing!
Says his new manager is ana claudia guedes.
Monsters Ball - Good luck for Junior. Maybe he wanted to go in a different direction. Maybe it's because he may end up having to fight Nog eventually?
Good point. Been an interesting week in MMA that's for sure.
Pharos -Monsters Ball - Good luck for Junior. Maybe he wanted to go in a different direction. Maybe it's because he may end up having to fight Nog eventually?No way. Nog's like a father to him from what I've heard. I refuse to accept that as a plausible scenario.
Nog recently made some statements saying that he's still going after the belt... I wonder if there's some Rashad/Bones-type drama developing.
It's interesting for sure. I suspect it has more to do with JDS not happy with how he is being marketed and or paid. Perhaps he feels he should be a higher priority for Ed, maybe he thinks he took a back seat compared to some of Ed's other big name fighters. <br>Again, this is pure speculation but that what we do! <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>

These guys are competitors and fighters first. I think they could set the friendship aside to compete with each other. They are warriors.
I agree with MB here. Nog and JDS are not Bones/Rashad, I don't think they would get into mud slinging like those two. They would handle things much differently.

I don't know, Brazil has a culture of respect for elders. I think JDS would have a real problem throwing fists at Nog. Kind of like Shogun, to this day still says he will fight anyone except Wanderlei.
suess - they won't fight eachother. not a chance in hell.
Nog is like a father to him
n3m -suess - they won't fight eachother. not a chance in hell.
Nog is like a father to him
I'd fight my dad... I kid!
Ed kinda looks like a turtle
ttt for ed sinister ....
Met soares in the elevator and he seemed cool. Barely recognized him lol
WatchinMMA - Met soares in the elevator and he seemed cool. Barely recognized him lol
I'm sure he is. Again, I have no issues with the guy.
I hope this thread doesn't turn into a Ed bashing session.
I'm cool with everyone having their own opinion about him but I'm more curious about what happened.
Was it just a business desicion with no personal grievances of was it personal reason impacting business?
TTT for a comment from Ed.
rosario01 - Disliked Ed after talking shit to Rampage and then came on here trying to justify it <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
You must REALLY hate Bisping then!
TTT 4 Ed.
