  • The Health Benefits of Saunas (Joe Rogan Approved)

    Joe Rogan • Saunas Used for thousands of years in European countries such as Finland, saunas have also been a common sight at corporate gyms for decades. However, I didn’t realise that there were any until I listened to Dr Rhonda Patrick on the Joe Rogan podcast talking about ‘heat shock proteins’ and cytokines etc.…

  • Brazilian UFC Fighters off the Juice

    Nothing to see here Since the TRT ban and the general crack down on doping in the UFC.  Just let them take it I say, makes the fights better anyway – I miss TRT Vitor

  • How to Beat Jon Jones

    I noticed earlier today that a lot of the traffic that comes to my website via Google, does so via the term ‘Jon Jones’ – so I thought I’d better put an article together…   Circle Not only did Gus circle when just out of range, he tended to jab and circle his towards his…

  • MMA Fighter Diet Plan

    I really don’t like doing diet plans, especially on blog posts. Everyone has a different opinion about what a diet should look like: Intermittent fasting (all different protocols) Dairy free Wheat free Ketogenic diet High carb Low carb etc etc Here’s what I typically eat to support training and working in an office: 6am 10g…

  • UFC Brisbane Results

Image Source The walkaway KO victory was always a possibility, but Hunt made it look easy against the…

  • UFC Brisbane – Frank Mir Vs Mark Hunt

    ahhh, love but hate this match up.  Two of my favourite fighters… Frank Mir – I remember him since he did that really weird arm lock from guard against Pete Williams: He’s one of the most intelligent, technical heavyweight fighters of all time – he looks like a 20 stone meathead but he fights like…

  • MMA – The Good, The Bad and The Bellends

The Joe Rogan podcast is (indirectly) one of the best things to come out of the UFC. I’ve literally learnt more about diet and nutrition from 3 or 4 of his shows,…

  • UFC 196 – Breakdown of the Conor McGregor V Nate Diaz

    I’ve heard a few things floating around the proverbial internet grapevine: “He gassed” “He couldn’t carry the weight” “He was winning until he went for a takedown” I won’t bother to address the last quote…but for the gassing out issue, and lack of cardio…I agree…what are the Diaz brothers known for?
