4 out of the 15 ranked bantamweights all train at the same gym!
Sean O’Malley, Marcus McGhee, Mario Bautista and Kyler Phillips all train at MMA Lab in Glendale Arizona. Clearly an amazing gym at producing high level bantamweights 😭
On a more serious note though, do you think things like this are bad for the divisions? Similar to a Merab or Aljo situation could it cause trouble at the top of the division if all of them go on at least semi successful runs? It’s definitely a challenge for matchmakers when 3 of them are all stuck around 15-10. The only other situation I can imagine this in is how at Kill Cliff Burns, Luque and Shavkat all train together obviously all these guys are at different stages in their career and regardless there’s not much you can do about situations where all the high level guys train together and subsequently end up in the UFC.
