No Greg Jackson? No problem!
I actually think that yo uare on to something. I feel Shad's best chance is to get him agiasnt the cage and dirty box while looking to try to get him to the ground.
Couture is the master of gameplans and conditioning preparation. I think Rashad would benefit greatly from Couture, assuming he agrees to help him.
First of all, before anyone craps on Xtreme Couture, please keep in mind that I am talking about Rashad working with Couture closely and not just at the gym that he owns. We're talking just Rashad, Couture, and a very small team of experts (and sparring partners) for 120 days straight. I don't see Rashad succumbing to the same fate that Shogun did if trains under those circumstances. And throw in Duke Rufus into the mix! No can defense!
In order for rashad to stand a chance, he needs to find a sparring partner to mimic jones, one person springs to mind. Anderson, he has to get his ass to blackhouse!!!!!! 
^ I disagree. Anderson does not pose the takedown and brutal GnP threat that Jones does. Your idea would be ideal if Rashad planned on striking with him (which would be retarded). Instead, I think Rashad's best line of attack is to nullify Jones' speed, explosiveness, reach, wrestling and cardio with a wall n' brawl gameplan like he did against Rampage. He'll have to incorporate lanky high-level wrestlers rather than strikers into his training, imo. Who are some tall, rangey wrestlers like Jones in the wrestling circuit?
i see no way training with couture n posse would be bad thing
I agree. This is probably Hashads best bet.
Douche - yeah, because Xtreme Couture is the home of champions....wait what?
You chose the proper screename fren!!!!
He should hook up with black house. Anderson is the perfect sparring partner to imitate Jones.
aka is the best camp for him. think he's trained at couture's gym in the past so he might go there.
" We're talking just Rashad, Couture, and a very small team of experts (and sparring partners) for 120 days straight."
Thats a 25 thousand dollar(at the bare minimum) training camp. Probably a lot more.
Rashad needs to learn from Anderson.
25 thousand dollars is a small price to pay to become the champion (again), imo.
