  • Conor McGregor Diet (Practical Guide to Breakthrough Training Plateaus)

    Conor is apparently, a fan of the Sirt Food Diet. This diet is high in sirtuin activators, which help prevent diseases related to age and stress (study here). The diet is best know however, for allowing both dark chocolate and red wine. The diet appears to require a foundation of the following foods: Green Tea Apples…

  • Conor McGregor Workout (Gain the Competitive Edge)

      Love him, or hate him, Conor McGregor is a great fighter and his a physique to match his athletic-ability. Not everyone wants to be an MMA fighter however, it’s lots of hard work, dedication and pain, and your body will not thank you for all the injuries you’ll inevitably accumulate.  You may wish to…

  • Why Bodybuilders Can’t Punch – Increase your Punching Power

    I know, I know, MMA Bellends are always sharing stuff on social media about ‘He lifts but he can’t fight’ etc. So it’s getting old, apologies…but I lifted weights and attempted to be a (very poor) bodybuilder years before doing MMA, so I have had all the ‘bad mechanics’ to overcome, and I’ve just worked…

  • UFC 205 -Alvarez vs. McGregor – Keys to Victory

    Interesting match up, both guys are the same height – 5ft 9, but Alvarez is much larger – similar frame but almost bodybuilder-esk. Strategies I think Alvarez will try and smother McGregor, like he did in his (dodgy) victory over Pettis. I’ve seen Eddie fight against Cowboy Cerone and Pettis. Cerone made him look like a one…

  • 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,…
