Worst coaches ever.

[BFoe]

I don't think Edmond is that bad when he's working with Armenians. He doesn't seem to be the kind of coach who can develop established fighters but he's taken too many guys from scratch to becoming UFC fighters for me to call him an awful coach.

That’s my thought too. Like, I think he knows how to box and could teach a novice off the street how to box, he’s just not a high level coach. He can’t develop elite talent.

I don’t think I agree with Pat Barry being bad. I get why people say that, but he turned Rose into a nasty little striker tbh.

Rampage- watch on TUF and you will see why.
Shamrock- anything about the Lions den back in the day.

Welsh is clueless, zero help btw rds and repeatedly calling merab ugly, a ginger?
Mike Brown deserves some heat for encouraging this dork -

 

[Khaosan]

Wait, Tim Welsh and Eric Nicksick aren’t the same person?

John Kavanagh

John isn't a bad coach. It just got to the point where he couldn't tell Conor what to do and just became another yes man.

Mike (Thomas) Brown is an excellent coach.

i always thought it was weird when rampage all of a sudden had that older mexican kind of undertaker looking dude training his striking. he wore like a low top hat and vest.

greg jackson, i think could be added. ruined the game forever as well as took promising fighters and completely ruined their styles. mike winklejohn too.

MTB is one of the best mma minds in the game.

Man has a long list of champions, male and female, and his list got even longer this past weekend.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and sitting next to him during UFC 175. Really nice dude and very clearly knows his shit

Terrible kickboxing coaches, but they had a lot of success 10 years ago.
The game has passed them long ago though.
As with all the 80s and 90s kickboxing coaches. Like Dufus and a lot of others.

Bang Ludwig evolved and is a way better technical coach than his technique as a fighter.

Rich Franklin telling Matt Serra on TUF 4 to come out and start the fight on one knee, because he can't get kicked there always makes me laugh.

Brown has the perfect personality to be a great coach (calm cool demeanor). It also helps that he was a very good fighter in his own right.

Wouldn't a good coach find a way to get through? Plus it always seemed like John was clueless like when he talked about game-planning like it was some new, revolutionary concept for the Nate rematch.

He's just selling his guy. No one was getting through to Conor. Not even the threat of jail and lawsuits got that guy to straighten up. He's doing whatever he wants in those camps.

Ain't that the truth.

Pat is a great kickboxer and fighter. Rose won gold with him and a lot of money. Power couple. Blessed be K1 and Pat. for the haters .

Not the worst coach but an example of bad coaching.

James Krause

Anthony smith vs glover Texiera.

This fight was peak covid. In the apex no sound and you could hear the coach’s clearly.

Round one Anthony threw the kitchen sink at him and won pretty cleanly.

The issue I had is Krause never stopped talking kept asking for more and more and Anthony kept throwing what ever he was told. But the work rate was too high and not necessary.

He gassed as a result and got beaten badly because of it.

Also jame shouldn’t have send him out for that final round.

He ended up losing teeth.

Not a bad coach but an example when a coach asks for too much and doesn’t let his fighter work

KRAUSE!

That was it.

I was thinking, "who was that shady guy? The Pete Rose of MMA selling his own dudes out for a betting line?"

Which makes him a salesman and further proves my point.

Dave money and don’t have to put trust into more people.

Once you have Dave money, you cant accept anything else
