Meet George Hickman, Tiger Muay Thai's Head Coach | Luke Thomas Sep 27, 2019

Show notes

I recently had Gerorge Hickman come across my radar. Hickman is a former fighter and now head coach of Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand. Hickman, an American, tried out for the team in 2014 and eventually worked his way into the head coaching role. What's noteworthy is some of the changes his leadership has brought both to the fighters he coaches as well to the team. It's also a reflection of the changing dynamics of team gyms in MMA, especially in Asia. In this interview, we discuss his background, how Brian Stann helped lead him to his current spot, getting Khalil Rountree ready for UFC Copenhagen, the changes seen at his gym and so much more.
