Longo the best coach in MMA?

[Danas_right]

Coached Serra to beat GSP. Weidman to beat Silva. Aljo top 3 P4P Merab 9 straight...


It's easy to coach Jones or GSP to win but can you coach the underdog to win? Longo can and has 2 of the biggest wins in MMA history

 

[-Sideways-]

He's got to be up there.. his record speaks for itself.

I see on Wiki, he is also a stuntman and an actor.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

After UFC 292 he could be Best Coach of the Night

I will have to say no until I see one of his students actually punch a hole in someone’s chest.

 

[Ibm]

Damn, you're right TS, hes underrated.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I'm going to say no because he looks weird and I hate his voice

 

[Redando]

He is the Long Island Edmund.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

He's got crazy eyes.

 

[BangBang]

He’s on a streak. Swings and roundabouts if you catch my drift…:GO ALJO! FUCKING GO ALJO!

He coached Hendricks to a WW title too.

Like Steve Zizou?

Well, definitely not like the dude in Mr. Deeds.

I like his use of swear words during fights. Very entertaining, imo.

He’s a good coach. As are many. I don’t think there is a “best” coach. It’s pretty much how much natural talent a fighter has to begin with. And the right coach can help them to become better. Especially if they can actually gameplan.

ie.. Whomever it was on Alexa’s coaching team that identified the spinning kicks of Shevchenko. And drilling the shit out of it. That’s badass coaching. And why she won the belt.

A cpl years ago the community was high on Wittman. Since then his two champs lost their belts (Rose, and Usman). Parillo has had a lot of success. So has Jackson/Wink, Zahabi, Abdulmanap, etc..

There’s good coaches and bad coaches. Longo is a good one. Respect.

Dana won’t give him 50Gs but someone should

 

[LoneLynx]

It’s hard to take him seriously with his long island accent, but his record speaks volume

 

[Rationality]

He's a great coach who belongs in the UFC HOF.

Weidman, Serra, Sterling and I'll bet Merab will be champ too. All 3 of his champs fought in stacked divisions too.

Not looking so good after Aljo abandoned his biggest weapon and got KO'ed while The Chris claimed they didn't train for low-kicks

Based on that last part, where a good coach can be measured by taking an underdog, should-lose talent to a significant winning streak, best coach in MMA is apparently Belal's

 

[mjfan23]

Anyone whose second fiddle to Serra in their own gym can’t be the best coach

 

[europe1]

One thing I like about Longo is that he really doesn't train a "type"

Weidman is very different from Aljo who is very different from Merab and so on.

In other MMA coaches you seem to find a lot more commonalities
