>The average UFC fighter workouts 6 hours per day.
How the fuck they do it? Where the energy comes from? Even if they mostly do cardio, after one hour of cardio im fucking done and could barely move. What is the secret?
>The average UFC fighter workouts 6 hours per day.
They do it for living
roids duh
This. Their training goes beyond what the average person can recover from. Roids aren't even cheating since everyone does them, rather they're what allow fighters to function after their training.
some of them are on roids but my guy northcutt is natty
they are champs you're a chump
Elite genetics(roids)
>20k sit ups a day
Retarded shit, bro
i broke my back
my back is broken

fuck you
Alright IST You are a god and you can change human body's very structure.
You decide to make a tournament between fighters in OP pic and adjust their bodies Pound4Pound.
Who wins?
>Connor Vs Jon
>Khabib vs Bisping
>Overeem vs JDS
>GSP wins
> Anderson Silva vs Cerrone
Not possible to tell since wrestling is a meme in heavyweight and it's all decided by powerful ko punches.
assuming they were at their prime:
>Connor Vs Jon
jon jones
>Khabib vs Bisping
khabib, and could smoke all the rest as well
>Overeem vs JDS
toss up, idk
>GSP wins
sure idk who the other guy even is
> Anderson Silva vs Cerrone
clearly anderson silva
Jon would downright butcher khabib. not even a debate, this lank moron is the greatest fighter to ever step in an octagon
That's def the closest matchup. Jones has incredible grappling defense. But I would still give it to khabib. His level of control once he locks in underhooks is absolutely retarded. And when he put people down, the legs got wrapped too. Also if we are going to consider balancing "fairly" by size, the same must be said for fucking steroids, which jones likely pinned his entire career. Give khabib steroids and his retarded level of grappling control becomes ungodly.
Yes but bones is also a brutal striker and it's contestable whether or not him or khabib are the better wrestler and any chance khabib has of merely entering Jon's range would be paralyzed by bones' reach advantage, striking, and takedown defense. To put it simply, for khabib to even have a fight against bones he'd need to roid up heavily and then we can't do shit about his size/reach/striking disadvantage to Jon's. Anon's premise of changing up khabib's entire bone structure and body mass wouldn't make sense since it would be a different fighter entirely. It's a sorry fact that a crackhead weed smoker is humanity's greatest fighter but it is what it is
Jon Jones is a cheater who abuses the rules of the octagon. He is the mayweather of the MMA. He ALWAYS chooses the absolute safest option and only goes for submission attempts when he is 100% sure he'll get a tap/naptime. His eyepokes and kneekicks are legendary bitch moves that would get your ass dead in a real street fight.
Khabib is far more impressive with the absolute domination of his opponents while never having to resort to cheap/illegal moves.
Khabitch Nevermadeweightov? The pullout merchant who dodged El Cucuy his entire career?
You gotta be trolling if you think ferguson could have done a damn thing but get smesh'd
Khabitch can come back to prove it, but he won’t
This poster is a muslim fanboying khabib because hes a muslim, he knows nothing about MMA and there is always atleast one of these retards ruining any MMA discussion
Youll notice no one serious about MMA would ever mention khabitches name in a GOAT discussion, its only ever people like this who saw an MMA thread and to subtly suck khabibs dick the entire thread before people call him on it then he starts ducking replies, this happens EVERY time and Id bet all my money hes a muslim without needing him to say it
B-but >smesh bro haha Khabib so cool he trains in rivers in Russia!
Jon
Khabib
JDS
Silva
Pretty obvious, only jon vs khabib would be a good fight.
Jon would literally kill khabib. He had 100lbs on him.
Read premise again
GSP wins against everyone except Jon. That one is hard to know.
This is the correct take. I think Bones wins though because he’s really tricky. I’m assuming he somehow keeps his massive reach advantage
Also Khabib murders Silva. Horrible style matchup
Gsp beats him, he’s taken down and embarrassed much better wrestlers slash grapplers than jones, and he also had long arms for his height too
Jon
Khabib
Ubereem
GSP
Silva
Buakaw in his prime could beat them all.
Buakaw in his prime would be choked by any of them. And I idolize Buakaw.
Also those arent "average" mma fighters, these are the top, the cream of the crop. The "average" mma fighters has a job and probably trains 3h 6 days a week tops. Its more like 15h of training (cardio and S&C work included) per week max.
T. Beginner pro mma fighter, training with "average" pro fighters.
>Jon
>Khabib
>JDS
>GSP beats everyone except Jones and Silva, it's a toss up because I believe they're within each other's range of performance depending on random variability
>Silva
If you making $500,000+ a year depended on being IST and the consequence of failing was getting your ass kicked you would find the energy for 6 hours a day too
If you think the majority of the roster are making more than a maccas employee I've got some bad news for you.
Barring bonuses, based contract is 20/20 and they fight 3 to 4 times a year. So, assuming they win every fight, always make weight and don't pull out due to injury you're looking at max of 160k. A good chunk of that will go to their gym, another chunk to their manager and a third chunk to tax. They'd likely be left with 60-80k of that.
You forget that each fighter is offered separate contracts with Monster and Crypto (and others). The fighters all have the options to accept these additional contracts, which come with their own complications and requirements, which pads their salary nicely.
their days i optimized. they sleep between sessions (khabib) and have to do nothing else. also the incredible motivation boost that the wealth of your future is on the line of your performance in the ring.
also riods.
you optimized their days? You must be a millionaire
HAHAHA! Nice 1 m8!
Most fighters fight for pennies and never make anything of themselves and they are still world class skill level to boot.
80% of it is low intensity work. if youre doing cardio and technique work at like 60% HR max you can recover that easy in one night of sleep even with 5hr of training. the key is low intensity. doing walkthroughs and easy zone 2 work on a bike doesnt really accumulate fatigue but it does build your base fitness
>the average
>posts the best in the history of the sport
also they don't go all out for all 6 hours. It's probably 1 hour of cardio, 1 hour of light sparring, and a lot of drilling for technique. The best way to get good at something is to spend time at it and if they got to the top they're already selected for endurance genetics.
Steroids and beef.
Horse beef
I used to lift 1-2 hours in the morning, go to kickboxing training 2-4 hours in the evening and then also still run around that and I'd still have insomnia and trouble falling asleep and be hyper af. I'm a girl, so naturally low test. You should assume all professional athletes are on roids, but what you eat, your conditioning and natural energy levels can matter a lot and you don't need roids for high energy levels.
>tfw no cardiobunny kickboxing gf
I am an obese bro but taking cardarine and felt like an Olympian
I took cardarine and felt no change, upped the dose and still felt no change, switched to GW0742, and still felt no change. Not sure if I'm a non-responder or there's something physically wrong with me bottlenecking my cardio or what. Considering all the raving reviews I've read I concluded the problem is with me and not cardarine.
steroids and cardarine
UFC fighters are top of the sport, they're all on drugs, most are natural athletes, they're not very big. Ive met a few fighters and barely any of them are above the size of the average man. They don't even have a bunch of muscle.
I ran into Ben Henderson in an airport once and I didn't think it was him because he looks so much bigger than the other fighters in his weight class because of how much he cuts.
He's TINY.
They aren't doing conditioning for all 6 hours. They probably do 2 hours of weight lifting or cardio per day at most (I am only counting "on time", not rest between intervals). Overall their workouts aren't going to look much different in intensity than Olympians'.
They delve into ketosis without eating a ketogenic diet.
do they do this from the insane amounts of cardio?
Idk anon. I workout about 2 hours some days and I have a full time job. If I was unemployed I could probably get in a lot more exercise.
your low rep waiting 5 minutes between sets is not a TWO HOUR WORKOUT gay
Its insane how delusional people are about khabib lol, the guys resume is trash, he looked good because he weight bullied people he had a stylistic advantage over and ducked the rest and anyone serious about MMA knows this, youll never hear an MMA legend call him any kind of goat but retards spout it every time he ever comes up
If you actually watch MMA hes not even top 10
you are retarded. also DJ put khabib in his top3 today so now youre double retarded
He won his belt from al aiquinta who wasnt even top 5 on short notice and took it to a 5 round decision
The goat lmao?
He pulled out of more UFC fights than he had and half his wins were 2 round non pro matches
Top kek
is right. Khabib is (was) the best wrestler in the lightweight division, but he gets slammed and submitted/GnPd by community college champion Jones after getting rocked by a spinning elbow
*so obviously they put more effort into it
He is top ten he just might not be top 5, also you act like the people he fought had absolutely zero grappling or something, it’s not his fault lightweight was full of strikers
It is his fault when hes a natural WW shown by the fact that he missed weight in abu dhabi and retired quickly after (blaming his mother, another bitch move), and actively ducked anyone who had a real groundgame as one of their main strengths after losing to tibau,
He literally weighed 176 almost his entire career, compared to Dustin who weighed 176 and tony who weighed 173. The heaviest lightweight ever seen is drew dober who came in at 183. Also struggling to cut weight doesn’t make you a weight bully, not everyone who struggles is a weight bully and not everyone who easily makes weight is small for the division. A lot of it is body composition and genetics plays a role too. Also he didn’t lose to tibau, I watched the fight and I wanted to score it for tibau cause I was in my anti khabib phase but I knew khabib won
kebab is russian and not white so the IST incel crowd worships his turds lol.
he's dagestani
God that would be the fucking dream. Imagine being sponsored and your entire focus is spent on working out all day. Sounds fucking incredible shame about the CTE
it's literally their job, their passion, and their livelihood, and it's already made them rich and famous.
this kind of question only exists in the mind of someone who does drone slave labor for his wages doing something he hates instead of waking up and doing something he loves every day.
you do have something you're passionate enough about to do for 6 hours a day right? go make a living with it
You work a 9 to 5 every day until you die.
What's your secret ?
They do different forms of exercise that work the muscles in different ways. They don't run on a treadmill for 6 hours
Plus they get paid to train and win, so obviously to it than you
This. It's their job. That's just work for them.
They don't work out balls to the wall 6 hours a day. High level guys don't just do your regular cardio kickboxing class, they work on specific weaknesses etc.
Also when they lift they don't do bro splita but catered workouts made by s&c coaches.
They usually have 2 sessions a day. Spar 2 times a week. Hard sparring close to camp.
Only in camp they go the extra mile. That's when the chances of injury are way higher.
I trained 6 days a week 4 hours a day when i was a NEET till 25. It was so much easier than going to a job everyday.
yeah and those aren't bullshit 80s bodybuilder workout duration numbers either. They aren't standing around talking in groups of 10 at the gym, fighters are working non stop
>The average UFC fighter workouts 6 hours per day.
Then why do they look like garbage? All they do is jump rope and punch a bag, lol. No variety whatsoever
they can't work intense for 6 hours, no one can even on roids. most of the time is going to be drilling technique.
>all these cazzies doubting reem
Jon and Khabib have some of the most absurdly padded records
Jon Jones literally has more title defenses than Khabib has non-can fights. Khabib having 16 wins in some backwater russian org ran by his father isnt the same as Jon Jones having his 3rd title defense in the same number of professional fights
More title wins wins retard but Khabib is a can crusher
Not that guy but almost every jones title win is overrated, shogun had 3 acl surgeries in 3 years coming off a 1 year layoff, rampage was 40 fights in and out of his prime, lyoto was 20 pounds lighter than him and got a shot by beating 47 year old couture, Rashad was almost 20 pounds lighter, belfort was 20 pounds lighter, a middleweight, and had only one week to prepare, sonnen was a middleweight coming off a loss, gustaffson has an overhyped record with his best win coming 5 years after jones, and he still made it competitive, teixeira good win, Cormier great win, OSP is shit, nc with dc, beat shit gus while probably on steroids, Anthony smith is shit and always has been, lost to santos, lost to Reyes, and got gifted a win against a guy with no grappling in ciryl gane
Yeah I agree with you Jon Jones is no perfect record mma jesus (fought older fighters exiting their prime or pissing hot multiple times) but comparing the two isn’t equivalent imo. When people were slurping on Khabib calling him GOAT he beat Quinta who lost his next 3 fights and hasn’t fought since, McGregor who got a gimme win against the husk of Cerrone, and two very solid fighters albeit that have never won a title
Comparing khabib to jones is something I haven’t really done cause gsp is the goat so his and jones records are the ones I really look into. I’m not obsessed enough to perfectly rank greatest mma fighters I just want to know who the greatest is and I found out so I’m happy with that. It’s annoying how overhyped jones record is I mean I never heard any of the things I mentioned just a few months ago cause jones fanboys are always making edits and the like and being loser weirdos
I just sent that post about jones title wins but by the way I don’t think khabib is the goat and I’m not Muslim so don’t call me biased, if I was biased I’d say he lost to Gustafson but he didn’t. Also he has dozens of fouls through his career and has tested positive for steroids 3 times
roids, testosterone, stem cells, the best sports medicine doctors, the best athletic trainers?
They are highly fit individuals who worked up to that over many years and started young. Also most of this will not be at a high intensity.
roids, exaggerating, and chill workouts. I assume they do lifting, cardio, technique work, and flexibility/mobility work. They probably grapple eachother for 3 min with 15 min breaks.
>How the fuck they do it? Where the energy comes from?
roids
>and their boxing still sucks
amazing
You ever consider they could be lying?
>How the fuck they do it?
They don't.
>This provided an average daily physical activity ratio of 1.95 x RMR (Table 1), which was used as an approximation for the initial diet. Total training volume was ~21 hours per week, split across six days, which reduced to ~10hours per week in the RWL phase.

You know you can just google sports at elite level and their training volume per week, right?
Have some diet and shit, btw.
Kinda surprising how bad you guys are at researching stuff, baka.
Have some more.

They drink horse semen.
they're in better shape than you.
and yet some of the pics posted by anons here are more impressive than the physique of 90% of those fighters
