Smart move. So many gyms will stay where they are and let the fighters come to them. Moving closer to where new talent is constantly being discovered is awesome. I just hope they don’t take advantage with the management side of things.
I’m In New York and I’ve always had my eye on ATT so much talent coming out of there I hope this gym will be well managed because I might pop up one day
What talent? It’s American Trash Team we are talking about.
Great handle!
Of course they will, thats how they will make money. You dont make money off of a monthly gym membership.
Wow americsn tap team
That's actually really smart for both Penn State and ATT.
Nickal, Nolf, Cenzo, Hall, Zain, Molinaro, Brooks, Starocci, Nick Lee, RBY... Penn State has been a Powerhouse for the last decade
Don't forget about Cassar the only guy to beat Gable Stevenson in the last eight years.
@@tripsportsandstuff A 18 year old Gable. Cassar would get mopped now.
Cough cough, David Taylor, cough cough
David Taylor, Ed Ruth, Quentin Wright, Phil Davis, Vincenzo Joseph, Nico Megaludis, Nick Lee, Mark Hall, Jimmy Guilobon, Matt Brown, Morgan MacIntosh,Max Dean, the Alton twins.... Haha the list goes on and on and on
We can name Penn State guys all day long however I was naming a guy that will go into MMA and be part of American top team.
Nice to see Colby’s sons having a good time
is that why he trained there too? 🐓
American tap team 😂
you do realize Bo is 10 times the accomplished wrestler that Colby was? lmao. Unfortunately when Bo enters his prime Colby will be retired by then but Bo will go down as the better MMA fighter and it won't be close
@@jshulman98 lmao so confident, we'll see if Bo Nickal is the real deal.
@@jshulman98 Can Bo take a punch like Colby? Press X to doubt.
This is the best move any gym has ever made, somebody better hurry their ass up and do this with Iowa
For reals that's literally just as good idea or even better. All these wrestling dominate states need to get the kids in it younger. By the time most of these college level wrestlers retire and go into MMA it's always playing catch up in terms of the BJJ and striking. Those takes years to develop as well.
The guy helping Bo cut the ribbon is Marcel Ferreira a multiple BJJ world Champ and MMA legend. UFC should have acknowledged his name as well. He is part owner of the gym. One of the nicest guys you can meet.
My son goes there, they are SO GOOD with kids! Very impressed dad over here!
So was jimmy savile
MMA needs people like Dan Lambert the same way it needs the UFC
I don't mean to Big up Jorge, but I'm pretty sure Bo Nichols association with act has to do with Jorge going out and watching him perform, and then talking to him and getting him to come down to ATC to train.
Dan Lambert the travel mail scammer
@@billyin4c514 Jorge definitely played a part, but also. ATT has been recruiting specialists, particularly in grappling for training their MMA fighters and helping them transition to MMA since before Colby. And Colby is a prime example of that. ATT has their (dorm, fighter turned in house coach) systems that they've been running for at least a decade now. Colby was one of the first generation of young wrestlers ATT invested. Look at how well he turned out. Bo Nickal is the new generation...
American Tap Team
I live pretty close to main campus and I'm a Notre Dame fan! Having said that when it comes to ameteur) collegiate wrestling there is no other program. This was a brilliant move by Dan Lambert and ATT!
America tap team
I saw both of Bo Nickal's fights. Front row too. That guy is a beast.
Penn state X ATT 😬 Deadly combo
American Tap Team?
@@TheBullyDisciple 😂😂 nonetheless they’re still a good team with a big budget
@@TheBullyDisciple 😂
@@Anthonythekidwholivesupstairs tapping must be high in demand then
@@TheBullyDisciple yall Colby fans must've forgot he tapped to alves when he trained with att
"American Tap Team" - Colby
Looks like a great little community.
Damn not once mentioning Anthony Cassar even though he's featured a ton. On a small list of humans to beat Gable Steveson in a wrestling match.
I wish I had the chance to learn and compete in wrestling when I was younger. it's pretty much non-existent here in the UK, we have cricket instead 🤦♂🤦♂
Mate tell me about it, I would have loved to wrestle. Fucking hated cricket at school, gayest most pointless sport ever.
@@bricktop. 😂
Bro i am from india The only fuckin sport exist here is cricket I fookin hate it
@@DP-yn3jf I ain't lying lol , anything you can play in a sweater ain't even a fucking sport in my opinion
that sucks, even if you miss out on wrestling in HS here in the US like I did (my grades were too trash lol) atleast if you go to the right gym you can find dope trainers
Wow so amazing to see the next chapter of mma unfolding right before my eyes
dude in the thumbnail looks like tj and cory had a baby
You could have just asked Colby Covington to come back, you didn't have to go this far
Colby placed 5th place in D1 wrestling during his best year. He's no where near the level of any of these Penn state guys, he would get demolished by all of them. Why tf would ATT want him back
@@roidster4401 I am pretty sure they all wants to compete in mma so colby is a far better choice than any normal wrestler
@@roidster4401 because he’s better than anyone at ATT at mma
It's nice seeing another MMA gym (especially one as renowned as ATT) come to central PA, we're pretty dry here when it comes to gyms but there's a bunch of hungry young people around the area who want to get into MMA but don't have many options. I'm really hoping ATT can help liven up the MMA community around the area
Bro Bo Nickal in the UFC would be awesome
american tap team 🇺🇸
Congratulations Dan Lambert and ATT community!!!! Love sport, healthy lifestyle, healthy foods.
I heard Sandusky is gonna help with the grappling!
AMERICAN TAP TEAM
Brillliant business decision
I live in State College and PSU just churns out so many insanely good wrestlers. It's going to be great to have a facility and good coaches nearby for them to develop after their collegiate wrestling career.
Pennsylvania wrestling is top tier.
I love att came to p.a. thats awesome.... now i can visit and maybe see porier or masvidol... awesome
First lesson. The sucker punch.
I got rejected by Penn State and I was okay. But this hit me real hard
He looks like a human-sized T.J Dillashaw in the thumbnail
So what size is TJ?
@@eastwood111 🤣🤣
@@eastwood111 That's the joke...
@@eastwood111 manlet
2:34 thought they had jujitsu black belt hanging on the wall lol
10 minutes from my apartment but I go to another gym in town, actually ran into Bo at sams club the other day Lmao. I’ll have to check out the gym eventually
I go to Penn State University, it’s actually just in a small college town. I’ve even run into David Taylor and Kyle Snyder downtown as well. They all train out here at the wrestling club but believe what you want dude.
@@LIIIIIFE he came into sams club again today Lmao, I got a photo this time, imma post it on KZhead in sec . The fuckin odds.
@@LIIIIIFE i just screen recorded the photo from my gallery, literally me in my work uniform in a Penn state sams club. Don’t ya feel stupid, tryna be a smart ass ?
@@LIIIIIFE lol yes way bro, actual madness 😆.
Ya and what I said the “other day” it was like 2 months ago. This the first time he’s been back since. I’m still shook lol
American Tap Team and State Pen
Bo is the man. His MMA gym is right beside Penn State. Many elite young wrestlers want a future in MMA.
Genius idea. Open them up near colleges with good wrestling programs and boxing gyms that have great fighters coming out of their.
I live in PA so I might come check the place out some time
It's a good move it's a short car ride away for many that live in the northeast to train.
Keep going on❤✌
I guess if they get tired of the heat in Florida then PA is a colder getaway.
Hell yea I’m 25 minutes away! I’m so pumped!!!!!
Poirier didn't help Masvidal at all prior to the Colby fight and went to Jamaica during the fight. That guy doesn't care about Masvidal at all.
Damn you must know him pretty well
@@dersatansschuh4426 🤣🤣👍
*Peter Griffin voice: "Who the hell cares?'
tf does this video have to do with any of that
I like cheese.
Tremendous!
Is making more American tap teams a good idea?
Shout out bo nickal in the thumbnail!!
Oh snap BO NICKAL
Des Moines, Iowa is next🙏
Lmfao “American tap team” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought that was Tj the snake Dillashaw at first 😂
That's a big move and a smart one!
ATT knows Wrestling wins championships in MMA. Smart of Dan to invest in them. The most dominant champs have had wrestling backgrounds. Cejudo, Khabib, Usman, DC.
GSP
@@jq7323 GSP actually had a karate background and turned into a wrestler during his mma career. He never grew up wrestling at a high level but became a high level wrestler. Pretty impressive still
Salamat tito lambert
A cool idea to aid in the transition between college and mma. Similar to the nfl system
*American tap team
Masvidal should move in, next time he can come to wrestle 😂
Dang!
So dope!
Brilliant idea
Imagine wrestling for years to be apart of a division with a champion who kickboxes, life 😂 is not fair
Well wrestling usually beats kickboxing
@@democratsshoulddowhatpeped7836 Unless you’re Israel adesanya
Chimaev coming for that strap
Well wrestling has an upper edge
Apart means not part of..
ATT is good for up and coming fighters but not so good if you want to be the best, the games evolved and it takes more than just having the most fighters to train with to win.
Yeah... they don't have the receipts of success Haterade
It was good for fighters that wanted a career turnaround ex.. Robbie Lawler and Amanda Nunes
Also good for those who like tapping
Idk which gym is better? Dustin is one of the best, Amanda is one of the best, Joanna is one of the best. I mean if volk and Izzy lose their next fights do we all of a sudden think that the game has moved past City Kickboxing?
@@dixonbuttes you can see that their styles are getting countered now and getting out classed. Yes they are the elite of ATT but they havent improved their skill set
“Well Spoken Man”
Good stuff!!!
ATT keeps growing, man. Fair play to them. 👏🏾 By the way, random question: Who's heard of the book "OF DEMONS & MEN" by C.E. OCHEJA? Not a big name author, but God damn. It is my favorite story EVER. It's driving me crazy more people don't know about it. I'll let you see for yourselves. Thank me later. 👍🏿
good move, their grappling side will take a big plus from this
this is awesome
The ATT in florida coconut creek is closed?
Hah they have one right next to Happy Valley in Oregon too 🤠
Blackzillians, put a gym in Iowa City and snag some Hawkeyes!!! Cmon let’s keep this rivalry rollin!
I thought Blackzillians filed for bankruptcy
Yeah, the tradition of PSU kicking the shit out of Hawkeyes can continue to the pro level😂
Yeah
Genius move
Mike Brown fought on GHB
I'm going to go to ATT sunrise and one day be allowed in ATT coconut creek.
Wow
Friendly reminder, Colby Covington is the Father of ATT. On a serious note, this is a smart move for the athletes and ATT. Athletes can get paid now, and ATT can expose their fighters to world class talent. Win for Penn State too. They can sell ATT as a recruiting point.
That is a good gym.
Anyone know if Anthony Cassar is gonna do MMA?
Ingenious- collide state college with mma and get THE best recruits to Penn state and transition them to ATT. It's a win win for both wrestling and mma!
Is this the same school that had a documentary about a football coach they had ?
Well ATT will be back on top now lol
Not for a few years though. It's gonna take time for these young athletes to develop.
Coach is another product of Iowa State. Dan Gable and Cael Sanderson coaching dominance.
The new building looks like a barn
It really does.
colby still dominates
I’ve heard their showers are top tier!!!!
I came here to see comments about Colby Covington, I'm not dissapointed.
American Top Team Portland is one of the best MMA facilities in the entire PNW.
American Tap Team FTFY.
american tap team
Colby has a whole new gym to beat up now
Colby their best wrestler left. Now they rely on Bo nickels
Not sure which one I like better, American trash team or American tap team😂
How about 'Boobie woman' or 'Joanna nO-pAy-cHeCk'??
Hope Bo gets in the ufc
Super pumped for BO NIKAL. Can't wait for his UFC debut and future.
American tap team
I wonder if this will set the stage for more MMA teams partnering with college wrestling programs, almost like a feeder program? If ATT has a steady on-ramp of prospects from PSU wrestling that is actually ridiculous.
Dude they could definitely do this at Oklahoma State and Iowa. They would develop more great fighters and more story lines between rival college wrestling teams that would transfer to MMA would be natural.
American Tap Team - Colby
This place is actually about 10 miles away from Penn State. So someone saw a dilapidated barn and had a light bulb moment that the barn could turn into an MMA gym.
they will need more then this if dustin is going to fight colby. ATT is 0-3 against covington.
So true! I found a great Conor McGregor song recently, McGregor Irish Hooligan. Stick that into the search and you won’t regret it. Great laugh!
This is the UFC's answer to Dagestani wrestlers.
I thought the reason Bo nickal ended up being associated with ATT is because Jorge Masvidal is actually a fan of Collegiate wrestling, and he got in contact with Bo.
That’s true but I’m sure Dan saw the opportunity having bo connections and took it
@@npierce14 Definitely
