Duke Roufus A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story about the death of Roufusport amateur kickboxer Dennis Munson Jr. set off a firestorm of criticism aimed at head coach Duke Roufus this weekend, as former fighters such as UFC women’s strawweight Rose Namajunas and former UFC fighter Eric Schafer described a toxic atmosphere of abuse, both verbal and physical, at the Milwaukee gym that serves as the home to top fighters such as UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, among others. Now Roufus is speaking out, telling MMAjunkie that he was surprised at the allegations that Namajunas, Schafer and others posted on social media and on The Underground Sunday night, in part because such accusations are rarely leveled at him in person. “You know, when I see Rose and (former UFC fighter) Pat Barry , they don’t seem disgruntled,” Roufus said. “They’re very nice to me. Pat asked me advice at the last Glory (kickboxing) event.
