Training for an MMA fight, much less the UFC, is a grueling process. There are so many aspects to address, including stand up, wrestling, ground game and more. When it comes to strength and conditioning, MMA athletes cannot rely on old school bodybuilding programs or generalized weight lifting. In order for an mma athlete to perform at their very best they need a combination of strength, power, agility and the ability to maintain power over 5, 5 minute periods.
Here is a look into Jake Ellenberger, Michael “Joker” Guymon, and Shannon Slack‘s recent workout at Innovative Results in Costa Mesa, CA.
Be sure and watch Jake Ellenberger square off against undefeated Carlos Eduardo Rocha on Feb. 5 at UFC 126 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
