When Sayif Saud was picking a name for his gym in Dallas, TX he wanted to pick a word that indicated exactly what his gym would stand for. And after much though, Saud decided to choose the Latin term “fortis,” which translates to “strong.”
He wanted to build a roster of fighters that would all buy in to a team-first mentality. He wanted to create a facility that provided athletes with all the equipment they need to succeed. And he wanted to surround each athlete with coaches that he trusted and knew would build one of the best teams in mixed martial arts.
