GOAT Coach?

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Duke “uncouth” Roofus turned a world wrestling champion into a joke of a ufc fighter, so definitely not him

 

[Perth MMA]

On the list of All-Time Great MMA Coaches, who reigns supreme?

Edmond "Head Movement" Tarverdyan

Joshua "Self Awareness" Fabia

Steven "I Totally Taught Silva That Front Kick" Seagal

Greg Jackson

I agree, Roufus ruined him.

Oh it's true.
CM used to be the WWE champion and respected by his peers.
I won't even try to describe the shame Roufus brought on him during the UFC days.

The conclusion; WWE > UFC

Firas, for real.

Josh, not for real.

Firas doesn't have enough top level fighters coming out of his gym to warrant calling him the best imo

 

[BFoe]

The serious answer is probably Greg Jackson.

the real answer is Edmund of course. Dude turned good fighters into shit fighters, regularly.

Greg Jackson was much better before USADA.

Just made me look at that pic a 2nd time. Diego must have put his undies on in a hurry for the photo, they are inside out!!!

Look at his list of fighters he's coached. Just GSP, Jones and Holm make him winner of the conversation by most standards.

Plus Cowboy, Diego, Condit. When Arlovski was there in 2017 he damn near earned a title shot.

Javier Mendez and Bob Cook.. Josh Thompson was Strikeforce Champ, as was Luke Rockhold, Jon Fitch was WSOF Champ. While Cain, Luke, DC and Khabib have been UFC Champs. Cejudo, Edgar, Gray, Melendez, Koscheck, Shields, Rumble, Adesanya, Phil Davis, Pat Barry and Paul Buentello have trained there. They have produced Champs in each of the "eras" of MMA, and in multiple weight classes. One can't deny that Javier and Bob, are near the top, if not at the top, of MMA Coaches and their Gyms.

 

[RicardinhoPT]

Firas, for real.

I used to admire him too a lot but besides GSP, who has he gotten to the top?

 

[theblackknight]

Hard to say because most of the top gyms have multiple coaches for different disciplines

 

[Dirge]

You totally forgot to add

Danielle "Mike, Break his leg!" Nickerson for role of best coach...

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

Sayif Saud in the near future

 

[blewgums]

This image just speaks for itself.

And what it says is: WTF????

 

[gevoudane]

Dan Quinn and his mystical stevia has to be up there. So GOAt they used him as the badboys logo.

Firas zahabi is the best coach ever

 

[El Panteron]

The serious answer is probably Greg Jackson.

If he's the one responsible for turning both St. Pierre and Jones into boring point fighters then fuck this guy. GOAT coach, I hope he falls down the stairs.

Every time I think I've seen the most cringe-inducing Diego pic imaginable, along comes something worse ...
