  • 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…

  • Conor McGregor Infographic

    Not my best infographic ever! Well, actually, it has Conor McGregor all over it, so it probably is!  

  • Conor McGregor Punching Power

    Relax to Hit Harder A concept that’s been about since Bruce Lee – relax to increase punching power. Conor (or Conor’s social media executive) shared the post above on his Facebook page, which seems like a rare, intelligent breakdown of how to execute a punch. Breakdown of a Powerful Punch A pivot of the foot…

  • Jon Jones Vs Daniel Cormier 2

    What can we take from the first fight between Jones & Cormier? Jones looked very dangerous in the first round significantly less so in the 2nd Jones had a range of attacks – a knee tap & a left cross, elbows, oblique kicks & body kicks Cormier had only 2 go-to attacks, a wrestling tie-up…

  • Hanging from a Bar for Shoulder & Back Pain

    Joe Rogan – who else – introduced me to this concept. Hanging from the bar decompresses the back and the intervertebral discs whilst stretching the shoulders. There is a whole book based on hanging from a bar to rehab shoulder injuries.   This video is pretty interesting too:   Don’t just drop from the bar…

  • Can Conor beat Floyd?

    Well, the simple answer is – “yes, but it’s unlikely” Conor was beaten on the feet by Nate Diaz, who had him in big trouble & close to getting knocked out before Conor was forced to shoot for a double leg takedown, which ultimately led to him getting mounted and choked. A few things to…

  • Psilocybin Mushrooms & Meditation

    Psilocybin Mushrooms & Meditation

    Meditation, is a way to control the ‘chimp brain’. The annoying little fucker that gives narrative to your life and judges everything and creates ‘ANTs’ – Automatic Negative Thoughts. Meditation enables you to dissociate from thoughts and emotions and just watch them go by… Psychedelic chemicals such as psilocybin appear to work in a similar…

  • Joe Rogan Experience – Jon Jones Episode 880

      Notes from memory – please listen to the podcast yourself and let me know if there are any errors below: Jon talks about crashing and running off because he had a pipe (I think he called it a ‘bull’?) in his car, for smoking cannabis (witnesses say he also ran back to grab a…

  • 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…
