Duke Roufus has his hands full prepping UFC lightweight Anthony Pettis for a showdown with Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181, but he and his team are currently on the receiving end of a barrage of negative PR.

Following an article posted by John Diedrich of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exploring the events that led to the death of Dennis Munson, it appears former students and coaches have lashed out at Roufus and how his gym is run.

After an investigation by the Milwaukee Police Department, the district attorney decided not to press charges. An autopsy determined Munson's death came as a result of "multiple blunt force injuries to the head."

Although the incident took place back in March, the MJS article was published over the weekend. Diedrich’s account is very in-depth, does a great job of reaching out for facts from nearly everyone who was present and paints the picture of numerous examples of incompetency that led to Munson's death. 

It is definitely worth a read to not only explain the details of the situation at hand, but also provide examples of what combat sports officials shouldn’t do in future bouts.

The problems began with Munson having to weigh in the same day as the event, a practice that’s been heavily criticized for not allowing fighters to rehydrate themselves properly. Munson’s brother also stated in Diedrich’s report that he cannot remember his brother drinking anything, despite the fact that his brother said he was thirsty before the fight.

The downward spiral continued with a seeming lack of interest in fighter safety on the part of the ringside physician and Munson's corner. Squabbles over what treatment to provide and where to send Munson also likely contributed to Munon's death.

In addition, there was a video of the bout that clearly showed Munson was practically out on his feet during the final moments of the fight. And there are 32 seconds of crucial video edited out, which happens to be the time that Munson collapsed to the floor.

While Diedrich did an excellent job of pointing out all the mistakes that occurred in March, his findings have opened a whole new can of worms.

Rose Namajunas, who is a current competitor on The Ultimate Fighter 20, has used her Instagram account to paint Roufusport in a negative light.

Littered throughout Namajunas’ Instagram page are posts from people claiming to be former students or coaches seemingly alleging that the mentality inside Roufusport is not conducive to success.

The aforementioned Pettis is making his first title defense after winning the UFC strap back in August 2013, after sitting on the sidelines due to a knee injury and coaching on TUF. Erik Koch saw his title aspirations come to a screeching halt as a result of injuries as well.

Chico Camus, a Milwaukee native, had a falling-out with Roufus in which the coach questioned Camus’ commitment level. However, it appears that the two sides reconciled, with Camus returning.

Roufusport has emerged as one of the top go-to spots in the Midwest for MMA training. It currently has the Pettis brothers under its roof, along with former Bellator and current ONE FC champion Ben Askren.

Update: Duke Roufus has responded to the allegations made against he and his team. His response can be found at MMA Junkie.
