Team Quest Fight Club History

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 arts history, as it marked the debut of each of the three men in that sport.

In 1999, 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 at the original site in Portland, while Henderson, a two-time Olympian, operates Team Quest MMA Fitness in Murrieta, Calif. Couture has since left Team Quest to pursue independent business ventures.

Under the tutelage of Henderson and Lindland, the Team Quest Fight Club has grown to encompass over 40 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 and Lindland have cultivated during their tenure as amateur wrestlers and professional MMA fighters.
