Major honours
Businessman Dan Lambert recruited Ricardo Liborio, a founding member of Brazilian Top Team, to help him build American Top Team in Florida in 2001, and it grew into the largest MMA camp in the world. It once carried more than 100 professional fighters on its roster, and its Coconut Creek headquarters, with multiple mats and cages, functions like an actual fight-sport factory. That scale translates directly into range: no gym on this list has produced champions across more divisions. Amanda Nunes held the bantamweight and featherweight titles simultaneously, Robbie Lawler defended the welterweight belt, and Joanna Jedrzejczyk trained here during her strawweight title reign. Add Mike Brown's WEC featherweight title, Eduardo Dantas's and Ben Askren's Bellator belts, and Dustin Poirier's interim lightweight title, and the lineage runs even longer. Draws like Jorge Masvidal and Yoel Romero were also based here.

Rivalry
A mid-2010s feud with fellow Florida gym Blackzilians spilled from fighter defections into public sniping and personal beef between the two gyms' figureheads, and it remains one of American MMA's most openly hostile camp-versus-camp rivalries.
