Ultimate Fighting continues to go from strength to strength and increasing popularity. Whilst many experienced fighters perfect their own techniques of course, there are a few basic ultimate fighting training guidelines that starters in the sport should be aware of.
When looking for training opportunities in your area, it is well worth having a stroll around martial arts schools. You are more likely to find ultimate fighting training at mixed martial arts schools, and in any case, it is always wise to have more than one technique up your sleeve as you start to enter competitions.
Initially lessons should try and teach you both grappling and standing techniques, in order that you can be best prepared for any possible form of attack. Try learning a few of the basic holds and moves from a few popular styles to give you a thorough understanding.
Whilst much cardio training can be done on your own, (as discussed below), you will need a sparring partner to get the best from your training. Ideally of course, you will find a partner also practicing in ultimate fighting. However, consider having multiple partners that specialize in certain arts top really test you.
Working out a thorough cardio routine is also vital. Plan activities that really push your lungs and muscle groups such as; running through tires, running with weights on your ankles and having weights or wind catchers behind you. Also, altitude training will prove invaluable for increasing lactic tolerance and stamina.
Weight training is also key of course – to build muscle mass; though do not go too far here, as you will need to be as lithe and as flexible as possible.
Nutrition and diet is also important in ultimate fighting training schedules too. Be sure to study experts in the game, and how they approach this for the best guidance. You will find that many use protein shakes immediately after a session, to quickly replace expanded nutrients for example.

Hey guys, i’m thinking about taking up Kickboxing and will look to go into competition eventually, i was just wondering how effective it is in an mma style fight? Im aware that MMA fighters have more than one style in their arsenal such as bjj for ground fighting, but how effective is kickboxing for a stking discipline?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance
its a great base but if you can find a person who can teach you muai thai which would change the amount of places you could effectivly strike with from 2(your feet) to 8 (feet,knees,fists,elbows)

I will tell you one thing about this fight, Cheick Kongo sucks at grappling. Yes he can strike but his grappling is so bad it is not even funny. About 6 months ago Kongo made a visit to Vancouver Canada and he stopped and rolled with some of my teammates at Dynamic MMA and some Marcus Soares BJJ fighters. Adam Ryan runs Dynamic MMA and he was putting on a show on Kongo. Yes Ryan has MMA experience and is a black belt in jujitsu under 7th degree BJJ black belt Marcus Soares but he was playing with Kongo on the ground and many guys ranging from blues, purple, brown belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu were also dominating Kongo on the ground. Cheick Kongo was basically being pimped on the ground. Kongo was only able to survive just on the fact that he was bigger and had freak strength.
Bet this UFC fight at BetUS
If Kongo was getting dominated by some guys that don’t ever fight no gi, than what chance does he have with Frank Mir? Frank Mir is a legitimate black belt that will come into this fight heavier at 245 pounds than Kongo (230) and one inch shorter. There is no way that Kongo will be able to keep this fight standing and no way will he be able to defend Mir’s submission attempts.
Mir received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after only 5 years of training from Ricardo Pires who is a forth degree black belt under Professor Marcus Soares, from Carlson Gracie. Mir is a legitimate black belt with real skills while Kongo is barely a blue belt at best. Mir has the size and power to attack and submit Kongo in this fight.
It is not a matter if but when this fight hits the ground in this heavyweight fight. Just look at Kongo’s last MMA fight. He fought Cain Velasquez and in all 15 minutes of that fight he was on the ground for 12 of them. Velasquez was able to take him to the ground and basically control him and beat him down for 12 minutes. I would have personally scored each of those round 10 to 8 in favor of Velasquez. It was embarrassing how apparent his lack of skills were on the ground.
Now detractors of this article will say that Velasquez was a NCAA division 1 fighter and that it was his wrestling skills that were able to hold him down on the ground. Well first Mir has considerable wrestling skills where he went to Bonanza High School in Las Vegas where he had a record of 44–1. He started wrestling during his junior year and lost his first nine matches but won the state championship as a senior in 1998.
Bet this UFC 107 fight at BetCRIS
Yes Kongo has the advantage in the striking department but Mir has enough skills to bide his time before he will be able to take him down. Yes Kongo was the former Muay Thai World champion and can knock out Mir but Mir has fought top level strikers in the past. Mir fought Antoni Hardonk (who has a similar fighting style to Kongo) at UFC 74 and won via kimura in 1:17 of the first round. I predict a similar fate in the fight. Mir will take Kongo down and either attack the legs or the win this fight by kimura.
Bottom Line: If you think Kongo will win this fight you really don’t know mixed martial arts. The sports book odds makers opened the UFC betting lines with Mir as a -185 betting favorite. I would have opened up at -250 so this UFC sports bet is a steal on the money line. I would lay a lot of money on Mir to submit Kongo.
Kongo is no where near a top level fighter. He is the best example of a one dimensional fighter. He has great striking but no grappling whatsoever. He has used his size and strength in the past but Mir is a bigger fighter and will impose his skill on an unskilled fighter. This is the best UFC bet of the night. I would lay a huge amount of money on the money line and if there is a UFC prop bet I would bet on a submission victory in this fight.
