Someone like Jackson would have a more American team. That said, I don't necessarily like the whole nationalist concept. Countries are a lot more complicated. Brazilian fighters aren't just BJJ guys, which I think they get cast as some times. There's the huge Vale Tudo and muay thai tradition (i.e. the entire Chute Boxe camp) and there's the lesser known Luta Livre tradition. As far as America, we know our own diversity pretty well. I like the camp vs. camp concept more than the country vs. country concept. That said, I'm not sure Jackson or Liborio would be able to field a team in any weight class, but if they could pick up additional guys and train them for the show, that'd be awesome.

Mainly its the fighting, I mean the fights are not that great and of course one sided. Rampage is entertaining, but I guess I want to see some good fights. And the truth is I liked TUF 9 a little better, there were better fights, better coaches, and the same amount of drama (if that is what you want). Also we all know that Rampage and Rashad are not going to fight so who cares about their banter. And going on TUF 9 and a previous conversation about future TUF's and camp wars how about a U.S. vs. Brazil? You know Chute Boxe vs. ATT or something.
