Fighters shouldn’t be missing weight at this level.
Too often we are seeing professional fighters miss weight and in this case it was by 8 pounds which is substantial at that bodyweight.
I understand sometimes s**t happens but at a professional level there should be a team of people in the background making sure things run smoothly.
Amateur fighters are still learning and that includes how to make weight effectively but as a professional it is your job to show up on weight.
I feel for the fighter who missed out on fighting completely due to her opponents missed weight.
Want to ditch the stress of making weight and know it’s handled safely and correctly ?

How we structure our meals as athletes before we train can be the difference between a great session and a terrible session.
Three things we want to really be mindful of are
1. High carb 60-90g
Simple carbs are often a better choice pre training to hit this requirement as they are rapidly digesting and easier on our digestive system this could look like
- bagel with honey
- sports drinks
- low fibre breakfast cereal and skim milk
2. Low fat
Carbohydrates are our primary source of energy for moderate to intense exercise so our need for fats pre training is minimal, fat can also slow digestion which prevents us getting necessary carbs in quickly.
3. Low fibre
Fibre is great and has many benefits for digestive and cardiovascular health but consuming too much pre training with really slow down digestion and can also cause bloating and digestive discomfort.

Any sort of med ball or wall ball work is a great addition to help generate more explosive power, but we need to make sure it’s done correctly and with adequate intention.
We need to remember it’s not an exercise in a circuit class it’s designed to be done explosively so that we can get the desired benefits from the exercise.
We want to make sure we rotate through the exercise allowing the weight to transfer through our feet as we release the ball into the wall.
The same concept applies to other med/wall ball exercise such as slams and chest passes.
If you want to level up your S & C and start getting
- stronger
- more explosive
- better cardio

Good fighters focus just on fighting but great fighters understand there’s other areas of their game that need work.
This could look like
- strength and conditioning help
- nutrition coaching to fuel performance
- someone overseeing their weight cut
- seeing allied health professionals for regular maintenance work
If we look at any fighter who’s a world champ we will see they have a team behind them handling things like I’ve mentioned above.
I’ve been helping for a while with his S & C programming with the goal of building his base level of strength and also his explosive power.
Want to finally take the guess work out of your
- strength and conditioning
- nutrition
- weight cuts
- recovery

3 big mistakes I see fighters make when it comes to making weight.
1. Leaving too much weight to cut in the final week
While we can get a decent amount off in this week we want to also be realistic, large chunks of weight to cut in the final week equals more stress on the body which puts us at risk of missing weight or making refuelling / rehydrating difficult.
2. Eating foods after weigh in that we’ve not eaten all camp
While a burger and chips may seem like a great idea post weigh in, the reality is this will cause lots of issues with your digestion such as bloating, loose bowels and cramping.
Foods post weigh in should be familiar to us and also tick the boxes for high carbohydrates, moderate protein and low fat.
3. Only using water to rehydrate
Water plays a significant part in rehydration but won’t do it alone as we need to replenish the electrolytes we have lost through our cut.
The first few hours after weigh in are crucial for replenishing our levels.

With a large percentage of my client base being combat athletes across things like boxing, mma, Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai I thought I would give a brief explanation on how I set up their S & C workouts.
1. Warm up
This will usually consist of some light cardio before moving into getting our mobility and joints ready to handle our training.
2. Plyometric work
This will be our high intensity explosive work which we want to do first so that we can give them max effort, these are important for combat athletes to improve their ability to be explosive.
3. General strength work
This will consist of our general strength movements aiming to improve our strength and muscle mass to give us a solid base for combat sports.
4. Cardio conditioning
This will generally be our high intensity interval work, fighters usually do general cardio in and around their sport so it’s important we work on their high intensity short duration work during S & C sessions
If you have any more questions about S & C as a fighter or want to lock in a consult DM me the word “performance”

Fast forward to now and where i am specialising in strength training and body transformations using a science based performance approach.
