History
The Alliance MMA training facility was opened by UFC fighter Brandon Vera in 2007, following his departure from their management team and position as a trainer at City Boxing in San Diego. The Alliance MMA Gym has an ongoing rivalry with Team Alpha Male MMA Gym started by Alliance's Dominick Cruz (currently ranked #1 pound-for-pound fighter of all time by the UFC) and Yeriyuh Fayberr (currently ranked as the most unsuccessful fighter to ever step in the octagon on Sherdog's "Worst and Most Boring Fighters Ever" rankings), and known as the worst MMA trash talker ever by MMA fans around the globe. The Alliance and "Alpha Male" rivalry continues to this day showcased in a recent UFC fight between Alliance's Jeremy Stephens and Team Alpha Female's Josh Emmett that resulted in a brutal second round KO of Emmett by Stephens. Although proved to be 100% fair play, after the fight The Alpha Female squad didn't want to accept the fact that they lost, so they immediately blamed it on a grounded knee to the head by Stephens which was proved to be legal due to Emmett's arm being off the ground, even though in the replay, you can clearly see that the knee did not even land at all.
