“Wonke umuntu Ekuqaleni Class MMA has umgomo ofanayo nokuthi ukunqoba,” Gulliver waqhubeka. “But what separates First Class from any other gym is that everyone will sacrifice their needs and goals to help you win. What is so unique about First Class MMA is that any gym can teach you to fight, kodwa Class First, John lifundisa inhliziyo wena. Vele ukubheka last First Class ukusebenza ngesikhathi NEF. Lokho Inhliziyo kwaba. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Akasiye kuphela ukulwa noma umqeqeshi, Ngiphinde ngimthathe abe umngane omkhulu.

Anginayo ukukutshela lokho workhorse nguye, and that work ethic is something that has translated well as a coach. It’s no surprise to most that John has been so successful as an MMA coach. Ugqoke hats eziningi ezifana umholi, Umngani, mentor, ukuqeqeshwa umlingani futhi ummeli kasathane uma kunesidingo. Ubelokhu e pretty okuningi zonke izimo ongazicabanga in the yezinyoni, nokuthi omnika ukukholakala.
