I know there's Longo The GOAT on Long Island but what else is there?
 
Seems to be a lot of BJJ gyms in New York - or they're more well known - rather than MMA ones.

@FrankieNYC would probably know more.
 
Yair lives and trains in Chicago and works with wrestling coach Izzy Martinez from Jackson's

Aside from Serra-Longo, other NYNJ teams include Long Island MMA (Bermudez, LaFlare, Wade, Gregor Gillespie), Tiger Schulmann's (Lyman Good and Jimmie Rivera), Miller Bros MMA (Miller Bros and Mickey Gall), plus the Ricardo Almeida & Renzo Gracie & Mark Henry-associated teams from NJ (Frankie, Edson, Eddie Alvarez, Corey Anderson, Sapo).

That's off the top of my head. I dunno whether that's still all accurate.

Surprisingly not a lot of top "MMA gyms" In New York City, yet. Tiger Schulmann's is a pretty good MMA gym in NYC though. There's a lot of gyms MMA fighters train out of in NYC like Marcelo Garcia's, Renzo's, Phil Nurse's WAT. There's great boxing gyms in NYC too. I've never trained in or even been to Chicago though so I don't have the slightest clue..There's a few good gyms out in Long Island too, not just Longo's.
