10 MMA Stars Who Dated Their Coaches

7. Andrea Lee & Donny Aaron

Andrea 'KGB' Lee is a UFC flyweight out of Atlanta, Texas. The 30-year-old has gone 3-2 since signing with the UFC back in 2018 and is fresh off a controversial split-decision loss to Lauren Murphy, which occurred at UFC 247.

Lee's estranged husband is her former coach and head of the Karate Mafia MMA facility, Donny Aaron. A controversial figure, Aaron first made headlines for sporting a Nazi tattoo he received while serving a prison sentence for negligent homicide. He is currently back in prison for assaulting Lee.

After allegedly trying to choke and burn his wife with a cigarette, Aaron evaded authorities for around nine months. He was eventually arrested in Shreveport, Louisiana. Sadly, this is a horrific example of a fighter/coach romantic relationship that went terribly awry.

Fortunately, 'KGB' wasn't seriously injured and was able to resume her MMA career. She now trains at Gladiator Academy in Lafayette, Louisiana.
