Matt Baker reached #5 in Glory world rankings while Alex Pereira held the championship. Both were built from their first amateur bouts through Dan Black's coaching system.
That same instruction is available through MMA training in Pittsburg at Team Black MMA every day.

The Coach
Still Fights.
Dan Black — Active Competitor. Active Coach. In 2025, at 48 years old, he flew to Phuket, Thailand and stepped into the ring against a professional Thai fighter with over 500 career bouts. That's not a coach who talks about fighting. That's a coach who fights.
