Then you should pay more respect to hold school Fighter like Baroni.
As for my credencials. What ever i will say or show, that will be not enough, you and your Keyboard warrior buddys will alway have a smart ass thing to say.
I'm the owner of a small mma gym (www.sprtanfc.ca) for about 6 years, i train mma for about 10 years. For my 40th birday i was set to do my first pro fight. I broked my c6 in training camp and i didnt fully recover since then so that was the end of my 'carreer' as a fighter.
So, i concentrate on coaching since then.
At the beginning, we were unknown in the Quebec MMA scene, we were just a small gym from a small city. It changed in 2010, when one of our guy put a beating on a tri star athlete at a tri star ammy mma show.
From there, we builted a couple of ammy champs and some pro fighters.
A small gym like mine cant make a guy from start to UFC. At a certain point, you need top level training partners, we cant give that.
Here, in Quebec, when a guy is good, he usually do his ammy carrer in his home gym, then his first 2-3 pro fights then guess what happen next? He go to tri star in Montreal....
So that's about it about me and ma MMA gym.
