Overview
American Top Team, better known as ATT, is an MMA gym in Coconut Creek, Florida. Dan Lambert founded it in 2001 with Marcus Conan Silveira and Ricardo Liborio, both of whom came from Brazilian Top Team. Steve Mocco is part of the coaching staff.
The team has grown into a network of more than 40 affiliated academies worldwide, and it has been named Gym of the Year at the World MMA Awards six times. Since 2021, ATT has also had a presence in pro wrestling through All Elite Wrestling, which is why the gym's name also turns up in American wrestling news, outside of MMA.
What you'll find
This listing covers the team's official accounts. On Instagram and X (both @americantopteam) you get gym footage, results for ATT fighters and fight announcements.
The ATTMain YouTube channel posts videos from the gym and its fighters. The website, americantopteam.com, covers the team, its classes and the affiliate network, which is handy if you are looking for an ATT gym near you. The three channels work together: Instagram for visuals, X for quick announcements, YouTube for longer videos.
Why follow
ATT's UFC champions have included Amanda Nunes, Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Kayla Harrison. On any big fight night there are often several ATT fighters on the card, and the team accounts give you their results and reactions as they happen.
Following ATT also shows you how a large American MMA operation works: a flagship gym, coaches who specialize by discipline and a network of affiliated clubs. If you train, it is a useful reference for how a camp with several coaches is organized. The gym's roots in Brazilian Top Team also explain why Brazilian jiu-jitsu is such a big part of its identity.
MMA Official's take
These accounts are for fans who want to follow a whole stable of fighters rather than just one, and for anyone looking for an affiliated gym. Start with Instagram on fight nights, since that is where results for ATT fighters usually land first.
After that, dig into the ATTMain YouTube channel for gym videos, and keep the website bookmarked for the map of affiliated academies. Between the three, you can track the team's fighters from camp to fight night without relying on anyone else's coverage.
