What gym does Bobby Green train at? Looking into 'King's' coaches and training partners

Bobby Green, now recognized as a distinguished MMA fighter, endured a challenging upbringing. 'King' faced adversity from a young age: his biological father, Mitchell Davis, was incarcerated, and his mother, Connie Scoot, struggled with drug addiction, leaving him in foster care at just five years old.

Throughout his early years, Green grappled with hardships until he encountered Jacob Behney. Initially resistant to Behney's influence, the lightweight fighter preferred the company of the roughest neighborhoods.

However, Behney actively sought out Green, and over time, they formed a strong bond. Behney took on the role of coaching Green in MMA at his brother's gym, Pinnacle MMA, in Redlands, California, eventually adopting him and becoming his foster father. Following his victory over Clay Guida in June 2020, Green proudly introduced his Caucasian foster father and BJJ coach to the audience.

Although 'King' primarily trains at Pinnacle MMA, he frequents Icon MMA in Moreno Valley. Under the tutelage of Jamall Emmers and Sergio Guerrero, Green hones his skills. His training partners consist of seasoned fighters from various regional promotions, such as Greg Guzman, Reuben Duran, Willie Gates, and Rick James.
