The Story So Far: The MMA Champions I’ve Trained
Genuine coaching depth cannot be fast-tracked or faked. It comes down to decades of real-world, hands-on experience Here is a look at some of the fighters I’ve had the privilege of coaching over the years. Although I’ve trained many other fighters along the way, I’ve narrowed this list down to title winners & those signed to International Promotions. Ryan Robinson: (Cage Rage & Cage Warriors, Trained with me 2002-2006) I was appointed MMA coach at Carlson Gracie London. Ryan was the very first fighter I truly coached and cornered, transitioning from being a primary training and sparring partner to leading his fight prep. Ryan won the Cage Rage Heavyweight Title in September 2004 and fought several top athletes, including Ian Freeman—the first-ever UK fighter in the UFC. Brayden Summers (Kings of Kombat & Martial Combat, Trained with me 2009–2011) Amassed a 4–0 official record, including a decisive victory on Martial Combat in Singapore. He also had several other wins not shown on his record. Brayden stood out as one of the most dominant fighters on the Australian MMA scene at that time. Kenny Yeung (AFC & Legend FC, Trained with me 2009–2012) An experienced Muay Thai striker who expanded his skill set under my guidance to compete in Legend FC. He later relocated to Hong Kong, where he continued competing at a high level through to 2018. Thomas Ruderman (Kings of Kombat & Brace MMA, Trained with me 2010–2012) Won the state MMA title on the Kings of Kombat promotion. Thomas fought tough, high-caliber opponents—including future UFC and ONE FC veterans, building an official 3–2 record alongside winning several additional bouts. Jordan Lucas (AFC, Brace & One FC, Trained with me 2012–2016) Started training with me at just 16 years old. I coached him from his first day on the mats through to winning the BRACE Bantamweight Championship (Australia’s premier promotion at the time) , His title run earned him the #1 ranking in Australia and a contract with ONE Championship, finishing his run under my guidance at 8–2. Anthony Fogas (AFC & Brace, Trained with me 2012–2015) Won a state title by defeating future UFC veteran Ashkan Mokhtarian, building a strong winning streak and positioning himself as a top contender on the Australian scene with dominant Wins on Brace & Hex. Annie Thatcher (Path to Hex, Demolition, Gamma World Championships & UAE Warriors, Trained with me 2018–2023) Compiled an undefeated 7–0 amateur record under my instruction, winning both the HEX Amateur Title and the GAMMA World Championship in Singapore to become my first World Champion. She went on to build a 3–3 professional record against tough international opposition. Mitty Carter (Path to Hex & Demolition, Trained with me 2018–2021) Amassed a 6–1 amateur record, culminating in winning the Demolition Featherweight Championship & becoming the number 1 amateur fighter on the local scene before the COVID lockdowns shut down the local mma scene & he moved back to WA. These results aren’t built on shortcuts; they come from over 30 years of high standards, pressure testing, and real experience. From taking complete beginners to world titles to guiding elite athletes through championship bouts, my focus remains unchanged: building complete, resilient martial artists who perform when it counts. I’m just as focused as ever on training the next generation of champions. Who will be next? ‘Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly. Goals are for people who care about winning once’ – James Clear Trust the System.

Quillan Salkilld wins on UFC Fight Night
Quillan’s victory over Gamrot isn’t just another win on the board, it’s a masterclass in what truly matters in mma. Gamrot trains out of American Top Team in Florida, a massive 50,000-square-foot, two-story mega-facility. ATT has over 6,500 square feet of mat space, a full-size 32-foot UFC octagon, strength and conditioning zones, on-site fighter dorms, and over 100 active pros(including dozens of UFC champions and top contenders) & more than 20 specialized coaches. Quillan trains out of LCA, a small local gym in Perth. MMA proves that state-of-the-art facilities and elite infrastructure don’t guarantee victory. What makes the ultimate difference isn’t the size of the gym or the number of coaches on the payroll; it’s having a coach who is genuinely committed to helping a fighter reach his full potential. Greatness comes from a coach who cares about your success as a human being. Alex Volkanovski had Joe Lopez. Conor McGregor had John Kavanagh. Khabib Nurmagomedov had his father, Abdulmanap. Georges St-Pierre had Firas Zahabi. And Quillan has my good friend Romel. Stepping into that cage is one of the single loneliest experiences a person can go through. When you’re standing in the dark waiting for the door to lock, fancy equipment or representing a famous gym doesn’t give you courage, the people standing with you do. It changes everything to know that the team in your corner is completely invested in you, standing beside you, and wanting that victory just as much as you do.
