List of professional MMA training camps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of notable present professional training camps and gyms in mixed martial arts (MMA).[1][2][3][4]
Most professional MMA fighters in the UFC, Bellator and other MMA promotions join a professional fight camp or training gym to help them prepare for fights. Training at a top camp can be a big advantage to fighters, as not only do they have access to multi-disciplinary coaching, but they can also train against the other top fighters at the camp and nominate members of the camp as corner men. By training a group of elite fighters together, they will all learn from each other's skill sets and can support each other living the disciplined fighter lifestyle. Before a fight, a fighter will undergo an intensive training regime of several weeks, often culminating in a dramatic weight cut to make the required fighting weight, and the other members in the fighting camp are an important part of this process.[5]
MMA training camps can change names as their personnel and sponsorships change. The Blackzilians split in 2017; coaches Henri Hooft and Greg Jones subsequently formed Combat Club, which later operated as Hard Knocks 365 and Sanford MMA before becoming Kill Cliff FC in 2022.[6]
