What's your opinion on striking coaches that never fought before? I know this one guy that never fought one single sanctioned amateur bout before, and he's a stand up coach for some local low tier pro MMA fighters. Heard he told me he only fought in 1 smoker bout before when he was younger (smokers doesn't really count much as a fight since it's just a scrimmage exhibition type of bout), and then quit fighting after that. Thought it was too hard on his body. So he just concentrate on holding pads for other fighters and is actually decent at it.
I guess it's sort of like Bill Belichick, he never really played much in college, and is now one of the best football coach in the history of the NFL.
What are your thoughts on striking coaches that never fought before? And by that, I meant not even one sanctioned amateur bout. Are they qualified to coach pro kickboxers/MMA fighters? Because coaching is a lot more than just being good at holding pads.
