Whenever conversations about MMA gyms come up, the same gyms tend to be mentioned. I get it, places like Tristar and Jackson's deserve the rep they get. But what are some gyms that you think produce good fighters in the UFC that don't have the same name recognition/deserve more rep?
 
sityodtong muay thai always seemed like a solid gym.
 
Hawaii Elite MMA. Ground coach Rylan Lizares and Striking coach Charles Kipili. Houses Max Holloway, Louis Smolka, Russell Doane, Yancy and Lowen Tynanes who I think is up there with Max as the top dog in the gym
 
From an older post of mine.

Sityotdong Boston

Team Sityodtong, is a Muay Thai and mixed martial arts training camp based out of Somerville, Massachusetts. The headquarters of Sityodtong Camp is in Pattaya, Thailand. With a well decorated history spanning over 20 years, Mark DellaGrotte has created a space following Master Yodtong Senanan's tradition of care in teaching authentic Muay Thai to practitioners and building champions. Mark Dellagrotte, is a teacher of various styles of Muay Thai such as Mae Mai Muay Thai, Pradal Serey, Muay Boran, Muay Lao, and also Burmese Boxing. This camp has not as of yet produced a UFC Champion but I firmly believe it will one day. It has however been the home of Rick Hawn, former Bellator and Titan FC Champion.

Sityotdong definitely excels when it comes to striking, but is rounding up it's whole MMA game with fantastic coaches such as Mark DellaGrotte, Mark Massey, Mike Gresh and Juliano Coutinho. Sityodong has brought up UFC veterans like Spencer Fisher, Marcus Davis and Jorge Rivera in the past. They do however have quite a few promising prospects now, to name a few; Tateki Matsuda, Bekzod Abdurakhmonov and Rob Font.

Although to some it does not sound appealing due to the lack of high level names, Sityodtong for me is an exciting camp with an entertaining style. They have the potential to produce champions but I would like to see them bring in a few bigger name Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling coaches.


Also AMC Pankration and Busan Team MAD.
