Team Vegas

**Team Vegas** is a martial arts gym based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. The gym is mainly involved with mixed martial arts (MMA), and it was founded by trainer and former UFC matchmaker Cory Miller, as well as current UFC fighter and Heavyweight Champion Tyrone.

## Overview & History

Heavyweight fighter Tyrone helped form the gym with this coach and former UFC matchmaker Cory Miller in 2018, roughly one year prior to Tyrone's UFC debut.

After Tyrone won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2019 against Daniel Cormier, the Team Vegas gym started to gain mainstream traction, and it helped pave the way of signing Tyrone's son, Tyrone Junior, into the gym. Junior, who is the current two-time UFC Welterweight and former Featherweight and Lightweight Champion, helped establish the legitimacy of the gym along with his father.

In December of 2019, Team Vegas signed kickboxer and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt Mitch Morales, and was able to become one of the gyms most popular figures despite fighting outside of the UFC. He would eventually sign a contract with the UFC in 2022, and made his debut headlining *UFC On PSN 13*, fighting former Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor. We would win the bout via first round knockout. His second UFC bout took place at UFC On PSN 16, facing former two-time Welterweight Championship title challenger Stephen Thompson where he would win in the first round with a knockout.

In 2022, long time Team Vegas fighter and former WFA Flyweight Champion Aaron Guevara made his UFC debut. Guevara would go on to win three fight in a row in the UFC after signing with the promotion, holding victories over top contenders such as Alexandre Pantoja, Kai Kara-France, and Askar Askarov before winning the UFC Flyweight Championship from then champion Brandon Moreno at UFC On PSN 16. Due to the gyms rapid growth of popularity, as well as their success in an alarmingly short amount of time, many media outlets have referred to this phenomenon as the "Vegas dynasty".

On November 2, 2022, Team Vegas signed Featherweight fighter Arnold Allen. However, he would leave the gym in February 2023.
