Trevor Wittman's greatest achievement is shaping champions. He guided Rose Namajunas to two UFC strawweight titles, including a stunning knockout of Weili Zhang. Justin Gaethje's transformation under Wittman from a wild brawler to a technical boxer earned him an interim title and the BMF belt. Wittman also refined Kamaru Usman's boxing during his welterweight reign. His ability to adapt his coaching to different fighters and styles is rare. Beyond titles, his fighters have produced some of the most memorable fights in UFC history, a testament to his preparation and game planning.
