Who did Alan Belcher hire to help with leg lock defense?

[The Clark]

Alan posted here after the win and offered a webinar. Interesting to see, everyone was nice:

Well, yeah. Everyone was nice because you had to be. Mods actually took fighter bashing seriously back then, since fighters actually posted here, and they wanted to encourage that.

One of my favorite fights ever

Belcher had no fear against an absolute mong who was known for intentionally wrecking knees after the tap.

Belcher was a very solid fighter, really surprised UFC let him go, he always put on good fights and was skilled everywhere

 

[Koala]

He was most likely training with his toughest teammate

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

100% it was Johnny Cash

At 2:15 into the video Goldberg said Belcher got his black belt from former friend and coach of Rousimar, Helio Soneca.

Daniel Moraes and Diego Moraes were taking care of his leg lock defense in camp at the time (some help from Mikey Triangles). I know because I was there for a week doing rounds with Alan. He went to Brazil and Biloxi and Jacksonville FL during camp for Palhares.

IIRC he wasn't let go he retired because Bisping eye poked him so bad it caused a detached retina

GOAT worst tattoo.

 

[ocfightfan]

He hired me, but I was too humble to mention it at the time.

I won't say who just hired me to beat Khamzat in the future.

That was a really underrated moment in MMA history.

" Back your hips up and GET OUT OF THERE Alan .... "

Rogan absolutely losing his mind lmao.

Who remembers Alan going for a fkn twister setup? That whole fight was a fever dream. Signature moment for Belcher.

One of the most satisfying fights for me. Paul Harris was a pos holding onto leglocks longer, hurting his opponents.

One of the best fights of all time. Also, man, Palhares was a top 10 guy. Yet people claim leg locks don't work. Theyv work and they are one the scariest (hence, also exciting) part of MMA. Time for some of the new leg lock masters like Garry Tonon or the Ruotolos to come to the UFC.

They work but because they became the BJJ meta for a while people have got so good at defending them that it's hard to get to the breaking point without taking significant damage.

Belcher is a cool dude, good fighter too. Just don’t even mention his tattoo, he will get truly pissed.
