I just released a new interview with UFC star Alan Belcher who has had some of the most exciting, edge-of-your-seat fights in the UFC.

In our chat Alan shares lessons learned from 26 MMA fights including…

The details of cutting major amounts of weight before an MMA fight

His mindset while fighting Rousimar Palhares, one of the dirtiest and scariest fighter in MMA

Lifting weights as physical therapy to hold his body together

Exactly how he structured his UFC training camps and when you should be doing your heaviest training before a competition

Tricks to use and mistakes to avoid when cutting weight

Preventing overtraining by modulating the intensity and volume of your training sessions

How dieting and cardio prevented him from actually training correctly

How he prepared specifically to face a leglock expert in the UFC

The crazy treatments he did to repair his detached retina

And really quite a bit more!
