Not really, Rampage use to train at Team Punishment (Tito’s camp), but left to train with Juanito Ibarra and then with Wolfslair. Rampage is best friends with Micheal Bisping while Tito is friends with Kendall Grove, Matt Hamill and Dean Lister. Anderson Silva and Machida are best friends and will never fight each other

They are old training partners back when Team Punishment was stacked. At the time it featured Tito (UFC LHW champ), Ricco Rodriguez (UFC HW champ), Rampage (a top contender in Pride), Tiki Ghosen (a UFC fighter), and Hector Rameirez (at the time he was in PFC and KOTC but he eventually made in the UFC as well). But the team split up. Rampage found his own camp, Ricco couldn’t stay sober, and Tito started arguing over money with the UFC.
Rampage and Tiki are best friends. You almost never see one without the other and they have kept training together since those days. Tito and Rampage also see things differently. Rampage said he wasn’t sure if he could fight a friend like Tito…Tito is all business and said he would go after Rampage’s title.
So the answer to your question is no. Anderson and Machida are current training partners and prepare together all the time. Rampage and Tito are old teammates but not necassarily close friends.
