Evolve MMA has recently announced that they are embarking on a worldwide search to find a new Head Coach for the famed Evolve Fight Team, Asia’s foremost professional fight team.
Current Coach Heath Sims is stepping down after five years in the vaunted position to focus on building Evolve’s burgeoning wrestling program. Sims is a former US Olympic wrestler with decades of world-class MMA experience.
Before joining Evolve, he previously served as the head of the Team Quest Fight Team alongside MMA legend Dan Henderson, and is renowned as one of the top wrestling and MMA coaches in the world.
“As with any world championship organization, the Evolve Fight Team continues to bolster its resources and expertise in order to continue the growth and success of our team,” said Wesley De Souza, General Manager of Evolve MMA.
”We are seeking an MMA coach with significant leadership experience at the highest levels in the world to lead and build Asia’s top fighting team for its next phase of growth.”
Home to several of the world’s best mixed martial artists, the Evolve Fight Team counts the likes of ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee, ONE Welterweight World Champion Ben Askren, former UFC Lightweight World Champion Rafael Dos Anjos, ONE Light Heavyweight World Champion Roger Gracie, former ONE Lightweight World Champion Shinya Aoki, and eight-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu World Champion Michelle Nicolini among its ranks.
Besides overseeing the program to ensure these elite athletes receive the best training available from Evolve’s numerous world champion instructors, the new Head Coach will also be tasked with recruiting the best talent in the world to become a part of the team.
Qualified applicants are encouraged to submit their resumes to jobs@evolve-mma.com.
Evolve recently made headlines around the world when its Chairman and Founder Chatri Sityodtong brought the entire staff of over 100 employees on a $500,000 all-expenses-paid vacation to the Maldives.
