December 17th, 2018 will go down as a sad day in MMA history. Robert Follis, the head coach who originally brought fighters like Randy Couture and Evan Tanner to prominence, was found dead. Follis’ death was confirmed earlier today via his girlfriend, Myra Fukuno, on her facebook page.
Starting early in the morning, fighters and media began mourning and sharing their stories of the long-time coach. Beyond being the man who helped build Team Quest and engineered the resurgence of Xtreme Couture, the common thread in every post is about how kind of a human being Robert Follis was.
