In 1997, Dan Henderson, Matt Lindland and Randy Couture were teammates on the U.S. World Greco Roman Wrestling Team—it was the only time that these decorated amateur wrestlers, whom collectively own a treasure chest of Olympic, World and National medals, shared spots on the same World Team. It would prove to be an important year in mixed martial history, as it marked the debut of each of the three men in that sport.
In 2000, the longtime training partners founded the Team Quest Fight Club, based in Gresham, Oregon. Since that time, Dan, Matt and Randy have been ranked among the world’s best, distinguishing themselves in organizations such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride Fighting Championships, RINGS and more.
Lindland, an Olympic and World silver medalist, remains based out of Team Quest MMA Fitness in Gresham, while Henderson, a two-time Olympian, operates a sister Team Quest MMA Fitness facility in Murrieta, Calif. Under their tutelage, Team Quest Fight Club has grown to encompass over 30 elite athletes and is considered by many to be the most successful and enduring professional mixed martial arts teams in the world.
