MMA10: Top 10 MMA coaches

Editor's Note: Insider presents MMA10, a weekly top-10 poll of MMA fighters, trainers and coaches on a variety of topics. This week: Top 10 MMA coaches.

What fighters do inside the ring is often just a product of the work they put in during their training camps. Like any other professional athletes, fighters need good leadership to ensure that they are in shape, technically sound and filled with courage on game day.

Charged with preparing professional fighters are their coaches. One part strategist, one part guru and another part CEO, these men take the best athletes in the world and ready them for fight night and know them better than anyone else. They all have different styles of leadership -- some specialize in a single martial art while others are fight strategists or emotional gurus, but the results of their coaching are consistent. These guys know how to get their fighters' hands raised.
