Source: ‘Lack of communication’ from ‘management’ broke up the Blackzilians

Yesterday, on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Rashad Evans revealed that he was no longer training with the Blackzilians in Boca Raton, FL and that there, “wasn’t really any Blackzilians anymore.” The former UFC light heavyweight champion explained that he would be training with former Blackzilians’ coach Henri Hooft at a new facility currently being referred to as Combat Club. Evans said to Helwani that one of the reasons he had left the Blackzilians was because of a tremendous amount of ‘drama’ that existed within the team founded by Glenn Robinson.

A source close to the situation has told Bloody Elbow more details about what happened within the Blackzilians, as well as which UFC fighters have departed along with Evans to join up with Hooft.
