More Than a Gym

BC MMA was built to create more than fighters

We’re building confidence, discipline, and a stronger community.

Founded by David “Bubba” Crabtree, BC MMA was created to give people of all ages a place to train, grow, and become stronger—both physically and mentally. From a young age, Bubba had a deep love for martial arts, starting his journey in jiu-jitsu and martial arts training at 13, stepping into boxing at 15, and beginning MMA training at 17 before having his first fight at 18.

Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Ohio, Bubba has always believed in hard work, discipline, and building something bigger than himself. As a husband, father of four, and lifelong fighter, his mission is centered around creating opportunities for others—especially youth who need structure, mentorship, and a positive environment.

BC MMA is being built to provide more than training. It’s a place where discipline, honor, respect, focus, and confidence are developed every day. Whether someone is walking in for fitness, self-defense, competition, or personal growth, they will find a team, a purpose, and a community behind them.

From outdoor conditioning sessions now to the future full facility offering MMA, boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, strength and conditioning, and youth programs, BC MMA is focused on building champions inside and outside the gym.

Because at BC MMA, we are building more than fighters—

We are building families, leaders, and community.
