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.
Team Quest embodies the principles of humility, perseverance and sportsmanship,
qualities that Henderson, Lindland and Couture cultivated during their tenure as
amateur wrestlers
