I feel like this isn't talked about much when it comes to AKA but I think they might be the longest standing successfully camp with the most legends were associated with it.

AKA was Frank Shamrocks camp back in the day. That was very early on in MMA history. If I'm not mistaken he helped build it into an MMA gym rather than just kickboxing and that attracted BJ Penn.


Again BJ at AKA was a long ass time ago! The top camps back then we're Militech, BTT, Chute Boxe, RTT, Red Devils. They all went by the way side.

About a decade ago they had Cain then FC then Luke as champs. Then khabib and now Islam and Usman and soon likely Umar.

Even Jackson Wink came and went!

The only comparable one is maybe ATT?
Which legends did they have and when did they first emerge as a "Top Team"?

Cung Le and Josh Thomson also was at AKA loooong looong ago.
 
Aka: Shamrock, rockhold, DC, Islam, Khabib, Umar, Usman, that's 6 champs and 3 of those guys(DC,Islam,Khabib) are arguably in the top 10 greatest UFC fighters of all time list
 
no, not really. DC maybe at the 10 spot but the rest no.
Islam is in the top 10 imo, charles and volk were on 10+ winning streaks and #1 and #3 p4p respectively when he beat them, he also beat dustin, dan hooker, bobby green, moises and is on the 3rd longest winning streak in the UFC.

It's hard to compare current AKA with the Cain, Rockhold, DC era AKA.

AKA is just now basically just a hub Team Khabib use when they're in the US with Javier stopping by when they want to do a camp in the US. The non russian regulars there are journeymen with Javier's son and Cain training them.

Khabib's gym in Dagestan is producing all of the world beaters.
