Malcolm Wellmaker Transitions to American Top Team Ahead of Fight

Malcolm Wellmaker, a bantamweight fighter, has relocated to American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, to enhance his training ahead of his fight against Otari Tanzilovi on October 10. Previously training at Faglier’s Mixed Martial Arts in Augusta, Wellmaker faced challenges in accessing quality coaching and training partners, prompting his decision to make the change.

Wellmaker's move follows a series of setbacks in his career, including a submission loss to Juan Diaz. He expressed that while he valued his connections at home, the availability of full-time coaches and training partners at American Top Team offered him the focused environment he needed. He noted the intensity and seriousness of training at ATT, which has helped him regain confidence and refine his skills.

As he prepares for his upcoming match, Wellmaker feels optimistic about the improvements he has made and is eager to showcase his progress. He emphasizes the importance of following his game plan during fights, a mindset shift he attributes to his new training environment.
