Siblings and Families in MMA (UPDATED Sep. 22)

Didnt see them listed yet, but might have missed them.
Brothers Felipe and Yasubey Enomoto.

How many couples are there in MMA?
Nice find, I didn't know the swiss samurai had a brother. Added to the list.

And couples, there are probably a good amount, but I didn't want to delve into that because then I have to deal with breakups and all that.
 
I somehow missed this post and the other one about it, and a year later I added them to the list. Can you think of any more?
Ashkan Mokhtarian and Suman Mokhtarian (one is UFC fighter and the other is on the recent season of TUF), Khalil Rountree and Donavon Frelow (fought at fifth event of DWTNCS).
 
Ashkan Mokhtarian and Suman Mokhtarian (one is UFC fighter and the other is on the recent season of TUF), Khalil Rountree and Donavon Frelow (fought at fifth event of DWTNCS).

The Lybarger twins, Jocelyn and Jillian, tried out for The Ultimate Fighter season 20. Neither of the twin sisters made it on that show, but Jocelyn eventually made it to the UFC.
