The MMA community is surprisingly small, and the passing of one of their own brought about a flood of condolences and memories on social media today. Robert Follis, a longtime MMA trainer and former head guy at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, passed away over the weekend according to multiple reports.
He was, by all accounts, one of the nicest guys in the sport in addition to being a black belt in jiu jitsu and an excellent trainer. He worked with the likes of Kevin Lee, Chris Leben, Miesha Tate, Tim Elliott, Randy Couture, Chael Sonnen, and many, many more.
