Sanford MMA (formerly known as Combat Club and Hard Knocks 365[1]) is a mixed martial arts gym based in Deerfield Beach, Florida. It was originally founded in 2017 by Henri Hooft and Greg Jones as Combat Club and later Hard Knocks 365[1][2][3] before being rebranded to Sanford MMA in 2019 after obtaining a sponsorship deal with Sanford Health.[3]

Overview

In 2017, Henri Hooft left the Blackzilians and alongside Greg Jones, founded the gym, Combat Club in Boynton Beach, Florida.[1] This later rebranded as Hard Knocks 365 after moving the gym to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in order to accommodate a bigger facility.[1][2][3] Some of the fighters who were originally training at the Blackzilians would join the new gym.

In 2019, Hard Knocks 365 rebranded to Sanford MMA after obtaining a sponsorship deal with Sanford Health.[3] A new training facility was opened in Deerfield Beach, Florida as part of the deal and Sanford Health also opened a supporting clinic adjacent to the team training facility.[4]

The team includes roughly 40 fighters, 25 of whom fight within the largest three MMA promotions (UFC, Bellator and ONE), as well as former and current world champions.[5]

Sanford MMA is notable for producing UFC Welterweight Champion, Kamaru Usman.[3] However, after being scheduled to fight Sanford MMA teammate Gilbert Burns at UFC 258, Usman left the gym in June 2020 to join Trevor Wittman at ONX Sports in Denver, Colorado.[6][7]
