Rampage Jackson and Forrest Griffin will be joined by TUF Alumni Cole Miller, American Top Team’s Gleison Tibau, and UFC newbie Steve Bruno. The American Top Team announced that all three of these fighters will be fighting on the card.
Cole Miller is another one of those “TUF” guys as he was a part of season 5 of the UFC reality show. Although he didn’t win, he had a successful tenure and the exposure from the show helped get him a UFC contract. Cole started training with the American Top Team in 2006. He is currently 13-3 in his MMA career.
Gleison Tibau has a Brazilian submission artist. He is recently off of a heartbreaking unanimous loss to Tyson Griffin. Almost half of his wins have been via submission and he has never been submitted in his professional MMA career.
The other fighter in the news from the well known American Top Team is Steve Bruno. This will be Bruno’s first fight for the UFC and according to ATT’s website, Bruno has also trained at the famous Lion’s Den in San Diego. Bruno is a hero in and outside of the ring as a member of the U.S. Navy from 99-04. Steve has a huge upside and will be another interesting fighter coming out of this great camp.

I will say this, I met Steve Bruno when he was in San Diego, and he’s a standup guy and a good grappler. I can imagine he’s only improved since then. It should be a good fight, but all of the ATT guys bring their best.

Josh,
Think of anything you would ask Steve Bruno. I am going to call him next week and do an interview.
