Xtreme Couture is MMA Junkie’s 2021 Gym of the Year. In a year filled with ups and downs for the majority of high-profile MMA gyms, Xtreme Couture quietly built up a strong 2021 resume with two UFC titles and assisting numerous other fighters to go undefeated over the 12-month stretch. Heavyweight Francis Ngannou and bantamweight Aljamain Sterling both captured UFC titles in 2021 with lead-up preparation at Xtreme Couture. Sean Strickland emerged as a top middleweight contender with back-to-back wins over Krzysztof Jotko and Uriah Hall, and Casey O’Neill skyrocketed up the women’s flyweight rankings with three straight victories
