Coaches are among the most unheralded people in the MMA space, and although Fortis MMA’s Sayif Saud has received recognition for his work , there comes a point where success fails to offset personal sacrifice. That is a crossroad Saud is grappling with as he enters the 20th year of his coaching journey in 2025, and is on the cusp of a massive personal goal he set out for himself at the start. After picking up his first coaching win in the corner of Sean Spencer against Yuri Villefort at UFC Fight Night 28 in September 2013, Saud has gone on to rack up 97 total victories under the UFC banner. Fortis MMA is now home to notables such as former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno (who brought Saud his first UFC title victory), Geoff Neal, Macy Chiasson, Ryan Spann and many more. The Dallas-based Fortis MMA has grown into everything Saud hoped and dreamed for it to be, but it has come at a cost
