Siblings and Families in MMA (UPDATED Sep. 22)

So I was off by one, but the numbers don't add up now. If we take out Frank and Ken we're down to 17. If we take out teams where one only competed in TUF, we're down to 15.
 
Funny story about Chucks brother...
I was in Vegas few years ago during the Olympia weekend, my friend is DJing at Moon nightclub. Few of us are in the DJ booth and chucks Bro happens to be there with a couple girls, asking if he can kick it in the booth (basically wanted to look important riding the strength of his name). My DJ friend tells him ok but he needs to bring girls for the rest of us also, which he does.

All seems good then he decides to go into baller mode and wants to buy us all a drink, he takes us to the bar and orders a round a shots and then his credit card DECLINED. He fumbles around looking for another card or something but then we left to go back to the booth with the girls...he never returned lol

I don't know if you just have a ton of time on your hands or if you actually are a walking encyclopaedia. In any case this was interesting to me. I so badly wanted to say Cyborg and Cyborg Santos, but you are being serious.

Mostly the latter. I knew most of the list off the top of my head, and davemeddlehed filled in some gaps. Also I looked at an old thread on this from four years ago or so just to get a head start.
 
Royce and Ryan Gracie were brothers...I'm pretty sure

Both competed in PRIDE

Yeah I went over the family tree and they're all over the map. Ryan was brothers with Renzo and Ralph. It's quite confusing.
 
Faber, Carmouche & Cyborg

Didn't know there was a Nick Serra.. I wonder if he has that same annoying voice Matt has

Matt's only spoke on it briefly on their falling out not sure if it was bad mental health or bad business or a combination but one day Matt just changed the locks on the gym on him
 
Weird no one asked the questions, did any brothers fight each other?

I've seen comment at Russian social media that Abdurahman Nurmagomedov is Khabib's cousin too. Also Omar Nurmagomedov called Abdulmanap (father of Khabib) "uncle" in some short interview. UFC fighter Alexey Oleynik and M-1 champion Alexander Butenko are cousins. According to another comment at social media Adlan Amagov (and his brothers) and Azamat Amagov are second cousins. Elias Garcia is cousin of Pettis brothers.
