Andre Pederneiras, one of the best coaches in MMA today, will no longer be seen in fighters’ corners in 2016.
Co-founder of jiu-jitsu and MMA team Nova Uniao and president of Shooto Brazil, Pederneiras has a busy schedule with dozens of fighters competing around the world, including UFC and Bellator stars Jose Aldo, Renan Barao, Junior dos Santos and Eduardo Dantas, and decided to step away from being the head coach at Nova Uniao.
"I will continue to teach them in the gym, to follow them in the gym, but I want to stop being the head coach," Pederneiras told PVT.
