When I first heard about the Blackzilians, I thought it was a very cool name and strong team. I thought they would eventually do big things in the world of MMA. After all they had Alistair Overeem, Rashad Evans, and Tyrone Spong on one team. I thought this team had a lot of talent with Overeem as their franchise player.
Boy, was I wrong.
The Blackzilian team did awful in their latest UFC outing. Overeem was knocked out by supposed stepping stone Bigfoot Silva and Rashad Evans lost a lackluster decision to Antonio Rogerio Noguiera. Their two biggest stars lost two major fights in one night. Ouch.
Tyrone Spong still seems to be doing well, but he still has a lot to prove in the world of MMA, although he is an elite kickboxer. Something just seemed to be off about the Blackzilians. Some teams have chemistry, while others don’t, and it appeared that whatever was going on in their training sessions wasn’t working.
While I don’t think the Blackzilians should disband just yet, if they keep underperforming then within the next year, they should all move on to other camps.
