Mike Dolce is one of the sport’s premier coaches due to his knowledge of nutrition, along with his expertise in strength and conditioning.

His list of athletes over the years includes Thiago Alves, Jake Ellenberger, Mike Pyle, Chael Sonnen, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and a host of others.

Additionally, Dolce has two amazing books The Dolce Diet: 3 Weeks to Shredded, and he most recently released Living Lean, which can be found at Barnes and Noble.

Fighting Famous recently caught up with Dolce to discuss the aforementioned items and his work with UFC 141’s Johny Hendricks.

“I have Johny Hendricks, who fights Jon Fitch on this December 30 card,” Dolce said. “I have Vitor Belfort and Mike Pyle both fighting in Brazil. I have Duane Ludwig, who fights a week later in Tennessee and I have Thiago Alves versus Martin Kampmann and I think Thiago Alves, he’s going to be making a world title run.

“I also have Jake Ellenberger and I have Chael Sonnen. I have some of the best guys in the industry and some of the greatest guys in the industry. Which they’re all very close friends and I want them be 120 years old too, so I have my friends when I’m a 100.”
