He coached the 2000 Army US Olympic Trials team where 23 of his wrestlers qualified for the trials. In addition, Marc has coached one Olympian, was on the Olympic coaching staff in 2000, and coached 2 World Champions (one male Greco Roman, and one female Greco Roman) as well as many World Team members.

Marc Fiore has been Matt Hughes' trainer and cornerman since 2002. He cornered Matt during 6 UFC championship bouts in 6 years.

He also cornered Robbie Lawler for his EliteXC World Championship fight.
