Joe Rogan claiming "no one said anything about Ronda's coach until the Holly Holm fight," got me thinking about some things.
Like this post I made back in 2015.
With new names coming up like Mackenzie Dern claiming they won't make the same mistakes that Ronda made. As if Mackenzie Dern doesn't realize she trains at MMA Lab which has one of the worst, if not the worst win/loss records in the UFC & could be one of the worst big name gyms in MMA.
I'm wondering at what point things have to become obvious enough that they will become officially recognized.
If a team in the NBA/NFL/NHL lost as many games as MMA Lab fighters lose fights in the UFC, this would be something that is discussed & talked about.
Is it an unspoken taboo that bad coaches and bad gyms in MMA should never be a talking point?
What do people think about this?

Watching Augusto Mendes' fight with Aljamain Sterling & seeing Ben Henderson (and probably John Crouch) in Mendes corner, made me think about how many times I've seen fighters who train out of MMA Lab be consistently outclassed everywhere & be forced to win their fights on heart and determination.Bendo trains at MMA Lab.
MMA Lab is probably the worst big name gym in terms of overall skill. They're a good family environment, they have good team dynamics. But in terms of skill and technique they're lacking.
MMA Lab guys win fights because they train hard and work hard. When it comes to skill and technique they're normally outclassed in that area.
I don't know if this is a negative comment, but if what I'm saying is true, I wish they'd get it fixed. It sucks to see Bendo, John Moraga, Alex Caceres and everyone else who trains out of MMA Lab have to win every fight on their heart and guts to make up for their lack of skillset.
