What are the best "small" camps. I mean camps that do not have a lot of well knowned fighters except one or two or are not really established yet. So not ATT, AKA, Roufusport, TriStar, Longo, Blackzilians, Wittman, Kings MMA, Evolve, Alliance, Nova Uniao...

I can think of Stipe camp (never heard anyone else come from it except the once in a lifetime mighty fighter jessica eye) and also Max Hooloway's camp. I know OSP trained his whole career in a relatively small gym too. Now that I think of it I never heard of any other fighter coming out of Matt Hume's camp except mighty mouse

Maybe All Stars Gym in Sweden, if it fits this category? Khamzat, Gustafsson, Latifi and Teymur come to mind from there.

Where the fuck has Teymur been bro. Dude dissapeared after the Oli lost.
He has some pretty good standup skills.
 
Camps to look out for at the moment.

Entram Gym - Based in Mexico, Brandon Moreno trains between there and the US and this gym has a lot of up and coming prospects.

Fortis MMA - Probably the newest gym to find consistent success in the UFC, able to get a lot of fighters to the big show and now has well over 10 fighters on the UFC roster.

Archangel Michael - Petr Yan's gym in Russia, has a lot of really good fighters who fight in Russian orgs

Akhmat Fight Club - Dagi/Chechen primarily gym that seems to churn out a shitload of fighters. Generally whenever I see a fighter is from there I'm expecting a certain level of ability.

Goat Shed - More of a long shot, but a gym that I've noticed crop up on the regionals (primarily Titan) that seems to have a few really talented prospects.

All Stars is an Elite gym. They've got the wolf pack coming up at the moment. Josefine Knutsson and Felipe Lima look like future contenders if not champions.

EDIT - this video is a pretty cool introduction to them

Yeah. He’s only a multi time title challenger who’s only losses in the past 5 years are from current/past/eventual champions and Mark Hunt. WHAT A SHIT FIGHTER AND SHITTY CAMP HUH?

Edit: I’ll leave my post, but apparently I missed a joke somewhere.

Glover trains out of his own gym, which is definitely a throwback by today's standards. Nobody else comes to mind who hasn't already been mentioned. I have noticed a decline in the success of fighters coming from "Super Gyms" in recent years, but maybe that's just my imagination.

Never said he was a shit fighter . Was poking fun at how he's from an unknown gym and openly talks about how he dosnt train that much and dosnt run , looks like shit for the majority of a fight but then still often knocks top fighters the fuck out lol . So yeah I don't think he's getting great training probably but he's a beast so it doesn't matter nor does he care and good on him .

Tons of people came from Matt Hume. Josh Barnett, Rich Franklin and Bibiano. Even Lombard was there once upon a time. The crazy mma superhero who beats up robbers.

Easy there. It was CLEARLY a tongue-in-cheek joke.

Clearly nuance is dead with some people when they're anonymous online.

Thank you . People really on their toes ready to type in all caps for a heated argument lol . Like Twitter , never take the Dawg too seriously or you start to go full pod person.
 
For some reason I keep thinking those UK gyms are little. Paddy, Leon edwards and even Till seems to be smaller gyms? They are probably big in the regional scene though. Even some big gyms like Tristar stopped producing UFC level fighters.

The smallest camp on the UFC roster is probably Valentina's. It's just her sister and trainer. They travel all over West Coast in an RV and just set up shop at small gyms. I believed they settled down near Vegas though. Most of the recent training was at the PI. I guess it's free
 
Bombsquad MMA has springed out several fighters to top gyms like Jones to Jackson-Wink and Aljo to Serra-Longo gym. That's how it should be in my opinion. Feeder gyms.
