  • MMA Fighter Diet Plan

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Easy, Healthy (ish) Weight Gainer Drink – Easy 1,000 calories

    It’s never particularly healthy to have 1,000 calories in one go, but…I think this is the best way I’ve found to get extra calories… 1/2 tin of coconut milk (tin not a carton) 2 bananas 4 almonds 10ml of raw honey 20g Hemp protein powder

  • MMA V Bodybuilding

    There is somewhat of an overlap between the 2 sports, but also a lot of criticism is exchanged between participants of the 2. If you’re thinking of taking up 1 sport, or possibly both, let’s take a look at the pros and cons… The Concept of Mastery Apparently, we are all motivated, and get hooked…
