Seeing the MFS LI post had me thinking a bit, which is what usually happens instead of me working anyway.:icon_chee
More and more, you seem to be getting big name fighters/coaches lending their names out to affiliate gyms that the head coaches might visit once or twice a year, tops. For instance, in Long Island (a place whose only household MMA team to date has been Serra-Longo) there is now an Xtreme Couture affiliate opening.

Pretty much all that they've done is buy the name to Xtreme Couture and then swallow up a bunch of smaller schools and put them in a new facility with new paint. As a trend, it doesn't seem to be going away. This differs from a place going "We're ____ gym which is an affiliate of _____".
So, what do you all think of the idea?
