Should a coach not be aware of what's safe and what isn't?

The fighter and his MMA coach will need to make adjustments to accommodate the UFC rule set. Freddie Roach will not be able to tell Silva what changes he should make for MMA because he is not an MMA coach.
What he CAN do is improve Silva's pure boxing skills. That is a benefit, even if Silva has to make some adjustments to his chosen sport.
