Saul Soliz (1965/1966 – August 17, 2021) was an American mixed martial arts trainer known as "the godfather of Texas MMA". Beginning in the 1990s, he helped establish the sport in Texas. After organizing informal cage matches for some time, Soliz helped the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation develop the state's MMA rules. He founded the Renegades Extreme Fighting promotion in 2000. An instructor of Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Soliz owned a gym in Houston and trained UFC and Pride FC champions including Tito Ortiz, Ricco Rodriguez and Cris Cyborg. He coached alongside Ortiz on two seasons of The Ultimate Fighter. Following his death from COVID-19 in August 2021, Soliz was widely memorialized in the MMA community.
