The UFC Performance Institute hosted the UNLV men’s basketball program for a week of cross-training as the Runnin’ Rebels prepare for their 2019-20 campaign, their first under new head coach T.J. Otzelberger.
Just a few months ago, Otzelberger training at the PI as part of the Runnin’ Rebel Caravan shortly after being hired. The time at the facility left enough of an impression for the coach to bring his whole team to go through the same experience led by UFC Vice President of Athlete Development Forrest Griffin.
“I was really impressed with the professional nature of the UFC and the organization and the attention to detail,” Otzelberger said.
