Neil Melanson may not be a household name to the casual MMA fan, but that’s not to say he isn’t one of the best grappling coaches in the world. Melanson has worked the corners and helped with the training camps of an untold number of fighters, and wherever he winds up coaching, that team has always benefitted.
The popular Blackzilians team in Florida is the latest to acquire Melanson’s services.
The hulking grappling expert has just signed on to be the Blackzilians’ MMA and head grappling coach, leaving behind a lengthy stay in San Diego with Alliance MMA.
