I am curious to know if Gene/Gokors gym was the only gym that had people walk in with no training and end up becoming UFC contenders and champions?
I mean you had Karo Parisyan, Manny G, Ronda, Karen D, Sevak and Sako as well as many others walk in to that gym and end up doing great in MMA.
Keep in mind, these people were not wrestlers who went to AKA or TAM or ATT. They were just regular dudes living in California who walked in to Gokors gym and became prominent fighters.
Also, Ronda did start with Gokor, she was always training with him. When it came to MMA, Gokor is a blunt guy and if you suck at stand up he will say to you that you have shit boxing skills.
P.S: Gegard trains there but he was already an established martial artist and so I did not add him on the list but still, lots of people got their start in MMA at Gokors...
