The 2017 Heavies Awards - Best Coach of the Year - Winner: Duane "Bang" Ludwig

Dewey Cooper sounds like the kid who picks his nose in every Adam Sandler movie.

I like Firas the best, but I feel Duane and Rafael are much better coaches.

I feel your plight. There are certainly a few coaches I personally like but had to separate the wheat from the chaff and really look at what results are they getting. It was a headache and to add insult to injury, realising there are no top 5 that will appease everyone.

Haha

My personal feelings aside. Firaz coached georges to a third title in his second weight class. He wins.

Personally I would rather learn from bang.

Knowing you like I do, does his facility being set against the scenic mountains of Colorado have anything to do with that?

Nah, I've just always been a fan. He'd have a hard time roughing it with me.

Oh weird, I made that thread a couple years ago? History repeating...

Wasted my first poll on that one too. Weird. No memory of it.

Dewey for having the most ridiculous brand on his arm. And Francis

Also Matt Hume is the answer every year until DJ loses

 

[GODZILLA213]

Had to go with Perez. Whitaker has been guided and brought along perfectly.

 

[Gambit MMA]

Bang

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Henri Hooft for abandoning his fighter after a title fight loss.

"He doesn't follow the fucking gameplan every time it matters! Oh he's retiring? Good, fuck him!"

 

[Askafan]

Wittman would be my choice for his work with Rose and Nicco

 

[2GunTommy]

I feel like Bang has contributed more to TJs success than another coach has to their fighter.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Robert Follis, Ludwig from that list.

 

[Jackonfire]

Great thread @Valhoven . I need to think about my choice.

 

[Jackonfire]

Ok. After much thought I went with Henry Perez.

This thread needs more head movement.
