DFW fighters in the UFC — tracking every local fighter and their records

DFW has produced and developed some serious UFC talent. lets compile the list.

fighters who train/trained primarily at DFW gyms:

Fortis MMA (Dallas)

• this is the big one. Fortis has been a UFC fighter factory. multiple current UFC fighters train here under head coach Sayif Saud
• the camp consistently produces well-rounded fighters who are technically sound
• if you follow UFC closely you see the Fortis MMA logo on fight week content regularly

other DFW gym connections:

• fighters from various DFW gyms have made it to the UFC through LFA and Contender Series
• the local amateur scene feeds into professional MMA which feeds into the UFC pipeline

historic DFW MMA:

• DFW has been a fight town since the early days of MMA. some of the first UFC events had Texas fighters
• the texas athletic commission was one of the first to regulate MMA properly which allowed the sport to grow here

the pipeline: amateur fights in DFW → regional promotions (LFA, Fury FC) → Dana White's Contender Series → UFC

this pipeline is real and active. right now there are probably 20+ amateur fighters in DFW gyms who will be in the UFC within 5 years.

who are the current DFW-based UFC fighters you follow? and which local amateurs do you think will make it?
