From Ross Training:
MSN worked with nutritionist Lynn Smith to see what kind of organic diet you can have spending only $7 a day.
Rosstraining.com is a fighter training site created my Ross Enamait. All the articles and videos are free. It seems to have a lot of relevant information for the amateur fighter looking to get into shape using affordable techniques and tools.
Also, check out Ross’ videos on YouTube.
Just learned about this site Fit Day.
Fit Day is a free online journal for tracking your diet, exercises, weight loss, and goals. This is probably a good way to keep track of your overall training plus its FREE… !

The next season of BodogFight is taking place in Russia.
Check out the BodogFight Blog to see some pics of the team training and pics of Calvin Ayre partying. The blog is pretty slick but I would like to see more fighters and less Calvin. I know he is rich… he just doesn’t [...]
… to kick some ass.

I was a little worried that I might not be able to watch the season finale. Having just moved to a new place, I am still sorting out my cable and TIVO hook-up. Apparently, VoIP is not a preferred method for TIVO to get the cable information, so I will probably have to [...]
This fight was the typical grappler vs puncher fight between Lutter and Sell. Lutter’s wrestling was more than Sell could handle and Lutter took him down at will and held him down. Sell was pretty much neutralized on the ground and could not get off a decent punch before Lutter had him down. [...]
There are a lot of sources out there for training techniques but there rarely is a one-stop shop for all this information. This is where Dragondoor.com comes in. They have been around for a long time and have an extensive article section with solutions to all kinds of questions regarding strength training and [...]
In this episode, Matt Hughes drops in unexpectedly, much to GSP’s surprise. GSP didn’t want to stick around because he didn’t want to train or be around Hughes since GSP as the #1 contender will have to fight him.
They had all the fighters come into the gym and interviewed them individually to see who [...]
Tonight is the last welterweight match-up between Pete Spratt and Matt Serra. Pete Spratt is getting his second chance after losing against Chris Lytle.
Drago came back to the house to celebrate his win over Charles McCarthy. Drago gets waaay to hammered. Its already hard enough to understand the Long Island accent but [...]
The title from this episode stems from Charles McCarthy’s continual moodiness and negativity. One of the other fighters wrote on McCarthys’ list that he needs “a personality”. Thinking he knows who did it, McCarthy goes up to Drago to see “..if they have a beef.” Drago denies it but just based on the accusation [...]
YouTube has some video of fight prep for The Philly Bad Ass, Lamont Lister. I have never heard of Lister but if his skills match his athletic ability… I would be afraid for whoever he is fighting next.
The trainers are from CrossFit Philly. Their website is KettlebellAthletics.com.

Some of the coaches discuss the Scott Smith vs Travis Lutter matchup. Consensus is that the fight was a mismatch and Scott was thrown to the wolves by Serra and Drago.
Now that Jeremy Jackson is off the show, there is an open vacancy on Team No Love giving Pete Spratt or Rich Clementi a [...]
Originally I was going to call it Around the Net.. then I thought of Around the Horn which was a football term for a training exercise we did.. then I figured since this is an MMA blog.. I should call this post… Around the Cage.
I am feeling a little brain dead due to work [...]
This episode was all over the place. It first starts out with everyone finding little red bumps all over themselves. Apparently, some sort of staph infection was brought in from the outside and got passed around to everyone from rolling around on the mats. The mats and gym in general are a breeding [...]
