<blockquote>
Vinicio Antony, who has dedicated his life to karate as a trainer, has been training Vitor Belfort since “The Phenom” fought Heath Herring under the Pride Fighting Championships banner in 2001. However, it was not until Belfort faced Rich Franklin at UFC 103 that the two men started working together on a camp-to-camp basis, and they will join forces again for the former champion’s trilogy bout with Dan Henderson at UFC Fight Night 77 on Nov. 7 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There was one notable change to plans. Belfort will not be training with the Blackzilians.
“Vitor called me saying that he wanted to make a different camp now,” Antony told Sherdog.com. “He left the Blackzilians and decided to make his own team, OTB, also in Boca Raton, Fla., and wanted to bring together more of a family team to build new energy in this new phase of his career. I could only stay for 20 days, but we used that time in the best way possible.”
Antony decided to start the camp by reviewing Brazilian jiu-jitsu fundamentals.

Add Team Nogueira and Black house to the list. Studied karate with machida and even got belted by him. Ends up leaving once he feels like he knows enough about Anderson's game. He was pretty training to fight Silva the whole time he was there while training alongside all those guys. That's the reason Silva wore that mask at weigh ins and started flipping out on him.
Exactly what Miami needs, another mma team. Vitor is obviously turned into a genius, when it came time to decide location.

The altitude is too low, bro.
Lol at the very last line of the article. "Focus on BJJ fundamentals". Is that a jab at how bad weidman tooled him on the ground?

It's not anywhere near Miami. If you said So. Florida that would be more correct.
I just ment in the same exact area as ATT and Blackzillians, Boca or Coconut Creek. I shouldn't have said Miami, but I didn't mean all of South Florida.

I wonder if his other training partners left the Blackzillians or they are just in for his camp. I know Gilbert is close with Vitor and Thiago was helping other fighters up there in Boca.
Yesh, I'm curious too. Guys like Durinho and Mutante were only at The Blackzillians because Vitor brought them there. Those guys are Vitor's long time training partners.
Here is a totally safe, and fashionably decadent, prediction:
Rashad is the next one who will leave the Lackzilians - and I will even tell you where Rashad will go: He will join TJ Dillashaw at Elevation Fight Team, which by the way was co-founded by Rashad's good old buddy from his days at Jackson's, Nate Marquardt (along with Cat Zingano). Plus the higher altitude will help counteract any cardio problems Rashad might encounter - after he moves down to middleweight, which Rashad will do either at once, or after he plays Gideon Ray to Gustafsson's Mike Swick.
