Fortis MMA and its head coach, Sayif Saud, are finally being talked about as a top gym and top coach in mixed martial arts. The team had a successful 2018 and is riding the momentum into 2019. In its last 20 bouts inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the team is 16-4 and has had standout performances from the likes of Geoff Neal, Alonzo Menifield and Carlos Diego Ferreira, among others.
Although many see this as a coming out party of sorts, Saud doesn’t believe that. He knew all along how talented they were and how successful they could be.
