What if I told you that there is a man – Darryl Christian, who is so masterful in the clinch that top grapplers, including UFC champions, wrestling standouts, and submission grapplers flock to him for instruction?

Although you might not be familiar with his name, Darryl is the wrestling coach to some of the most dominating stars of the UFC including names such as Dominick Cruz, TJ Dillashaw, BJ Penn, Chael Sonnen and Rashad Evans. He has also worked with Kyle Dake, who recently became the man that beat Jordan Boroughs and qualified for the Olympics. The full list of outstanding fighters he has worked with is insane.

That’s him below, coaching 2x UFC Bantamweight Champion, TJ Dillashaw.

Darryl Christian also coached on The Ultimate Fighter (25).

Darryl Christian’s Wrestling Background

Darryl Christian began his wrestling career back in high school, quickly progressing in the years after to join the US national team, winning multiple national & international titles. After his retirement from the competitive scene, he began to turn the MMA world upside down by infiltrating the training system with new ideas and his unique wrestling style, in turn creating some of the world’s best athletes. 

And he’s not raising assassins in the UFC alone,  he’s also worked with some of jiu jitsu’s best grapplers for example, Keenan Cornelius, Lucas Leite and Rafa Mendes.

Besides 20 YEARS OF COMBAT EXPERIENCE (🤯)…

His coaching style is built around periodization and individualistic approaches towards the athletes he trains. What he brings to the table is guaranteed to enhance one’s abilities. He is quite enigmatic as he does not do any self-promotion. He has a private IG account and a limited online presence. Yet athletes only utter his name with the utmost respect.
