The Best Camp in MMA

PrintI saw a fanpost today criticizing the American Kickboxing Academy and it got me thinking who had the best overall MMA camp. Also what makes an MMA camp truly exceptional. I would say it's the ability to turn an athlete with no real martial arts training and making them world class however not many fighters start fighting professionally without having prior martial arts experience. I've attached a poll with some of the more popular camps let me know if I missed someone in the comments section.

The easy choice is Jackson’s Submission Fighting. Greg Jackson has proven himself to be a master gameplanner again and again. Nearly every fighter coming out of his camp is red-hot right now. Its the only camp to have two titleholders in the UFC, and it has legitimate contenders in nearly every weight class.
I thought about that one don’t know why I didn’t put it in the poll but that’s one vote for black house I guess
how come i dont see machida and A.silva’s name there?

Cause reports are sketchy. Machida actually fights out of his father’s academy now I think, Associacao Paraense de Artes Marciais. Silva has a Muy Thai school called the Killer Bee Muy Thai College.
However look at the link address I gave.
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
so they have different camps now? but when they fight, some just fly over to help? cause machida trained in his father’s academy but silva flew in to help if i remember correctly.. but what about the nogs? Silva also sparred with arlovski dont know if AA and Lyoto have trained together though..

Silva and Arlovski sparred at Freddie Roach’s gym.

yup. :)
wouldnt it be great though, if all of them just trained in one camp? They would get more sparring time together and could really benefit from each other.. Plus they’d probably be the most star studded camp there is.. Lyoto, Nog twins, AA, Silva, Filho (without drugs), Dos santos, etc..

Thanks for the 'present' qualifier
Because Militech Fighting Systems still has more title wins and defenses than any camp in UFC history.
Someone do the legwork I’m too lazy to do.

Wolfslair Academy
my vote is for Jackson’s Submission Fighting but I think Wolfslaur deserves to be mentioned along with these other camps.
minnesota martial arts
has brock sherk and had huerta…
not that they are the best… justthink they deserve more then 1 vote…
If I didn't vote for MMAA, who the hell did?
Gotta go Jackson. Clearly this is only American camps, though..

Well, Wolfslair
Hmm.. Interesting choices, then.
