  • Dr Rhonda Patrick – Joe rogan podcast

    Amazing amount of information on the latest podcast, here’s a few pearls… Garlic contains a powerful enzyme called allicin.  In order to activate the enzyme, a clove of garlic must be chopped up first and ideally left for at least 5 minutes before eating it. Allicin is a potent anit-inflammatory that in high amounts can…

  • UFC Brisbane Results

    UFC Brisbane Main Event: Mark Hunt V Frank Mir Mark Hunt wins with an overhand right against Frank Mir. Landing just behind his ear, Mir was done-and-dusted by the Super Samoan’s crushing power inside the first round. 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

    Good – Martial arts for self-improvement. Martial arts develop confidence, self esteem and a whole host of other goodies. Good – Joe Rogan. 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? Boxing, BJJ and the…

  • UFC 196 – MCGREGOR VS. DIAZ

    UFC 196 – MCGREGOR VS. DIAZ

    Interesting match up. Firstly – Conor has fought at 145 for the last couple of years – since he has been in the UFC. He was the 145 and 155 champ whilst fighting in CageWarriors, so the fact that he was scheduled to jump up to 155 after beating Aldo, was not a surprise. However,…

  • Top 5 Destinations to Train MMA of All Time

    By – Klara Kristi Mixed martial artists may practice their craft in the cage, but talent is bought and paid for through hard work. Most fighters like Lyoto Machida or Ronda Rousey have been training martial arts all their lives, but there’s also Travis Browne who waited until much later in life to jump into…

  • Joe Rogan and Kyle Kingsbury Podcast

    Really interesting podcast, one of my faves over the last few months. To summarise: Kyle wanted to improve mentally and physically as much as possible when he was fighting.  So whilst a lot of fighters would chill out and play video games after training, he would read books.  Books on sports nutrition and psychology for…

  • The Importance of Competition – In Any Sport

    A really positive way to look at competition: 1. Every time you compete and win – you feel great and you feel like you’ve achieved something, especially if you’ve trained hard. 2. Every time you lose, you test your character and more importantly perhaps, you make someone else happy (see point 1.) It also makes…
