I'm sure that sparring with Wanderlei and Shogun was integral to him getting confidence to know he could perform in the UFC.

if you ask him outside of training with wand and shogun when they had pride fights in the us, he really didn't take much out of his cb usa training and it's not like he trained with wand and cb brazil guys on an everyday basis. also keep in mind that there is a HUGE difference between cb usa and cb brazil. here's a little excerpt of aj dissing the old cb usa
OTM: We first saw you when you were representing Chute Boxe USA in Pangaea Fights. And this past UFC fight night we saw you fight Chad Reiner. You look really good in that octagon, what do you attribute that to?
Anthony: Well I’m with Rigan Machado and with Team Allegiance now. Same gym and trainers just the head coach moved on to another spot. But everything is going great now, training jiu jitsu is better than ever. We’re doing Muay Thai still, and I’m doing a lot more boxing now before Chute Boxe USA was all about just punching you in the mouth and see who could hit the hardest in the gym when you know you’re not supposed to do that to your training partner. Now it’s all about getting better as a Team and as an individual. Everything’s changed a lot.
