Press Release – Las Vegas, Nevada – The secrets of the Ultimate Fighting Championship®’s elite athletes are finally revealed in UFC FIT™ – the UFC’s first ever in-home fitness and nutrition program. Developed with renowned strength and conditioning coach Mike Dolce, UFC FIT is a lifestyle program based on the same methods the world’s greatest athletes use to prepare for the OctagonTM.

A celebrated training coach and former mixed martial artist, Dolce has earned his reputation as the greatest conditioning and nutrition expert in the sport, helping top contenders including Johny Hendricks, Gray Maynard, Michael Bisping and Thiago Alves prepare for competition. Now, for the first time, Mike Dolce shares the knowledge and techniques that have turned athletes into champions in this in-home training program.

UFC president Dana White said: “What makes UFC FIT different from every other workout is Mike Dolce. The UFC doesn’t cut corners or do anything halfway, so when we decided to create UFC FIT, we knew we had to work with Mike. He’s someone we respect, someone we believe in and someone we know gets results. To compete in the UFC, you have to be proficient in five Olympic sports including boxing, wrestling, taekwondo and judo on top of having world class strength and cardio. And Mike Dolce take these guys level to another level – just imagine what he can do for you.”

Dolce said: “The methods you’ll see in UFC FIT are the same ones I’ve used with the top stars in the UFC, but I actually developed them for men and women of all ages. I used to weigh 280 lbs, I had elevated blood pressure, my cholesterol was high and I had sleep apnea. Using the principals I share in UFC FIT, I dropped 100 lbs and now am down to five percent body fat. UFC FIT is a fun, challenging program developed for everyone and every fitness level. We all deserve to be lean, to feel confident and to be healthy.”

The Fighter’s Diet

Diet is one of the pillars of a successful training regime, but with so many tips, tricks and techniques out on the market, it can be difficult to know what really works. In this guide, we’ll take a look at the cold hard facts surrounding nutrition and give you the low-down on how to eat your way into top fighting form.

– Frequency

From Bruce Lee to modern-day MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters, those at the top of their game consistently advocate eating less, more frequently. Smaller portions of food ingested in relatively shorter intervals are thought to stimulate the metabolism, as well as reduce the amount of excess calories you’re storing as fat. Eating in this way is also great for those with a heavy training schedule – allowing them to fit in regular workouts without being weighed down by a heavy stomach.

– Protein

Proteins are a kind of molecule made up by chains of amino acids and are responsible for a wide range of functions in the body. Taking in sufficient amounts of protein on a regular basis is a must for any athlete and particularly martial artists. It will help with muscle building and repair, as well as providing your body with a source of energy when carbohydrate levels are depleted.

How much protein you should ingest depends on several factors, including body weight and training regime – but a good rule of thumb is to aim for it to make up around 20 per cent of your daily caloric intake. While this can be achieved through regular healthy eating, protein supplements can be a boon for those having difficulty with diet.

The best sources of protein include:

Eggs
Lean Meat
Poultry
Fish
Dairy Producs
Nuts
Beans

– Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are a type of organic compound that are vital for the functioning of the body. They serve as a key source of energy, particularly during times of intense physical activity. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar, which is the raw fuel that powers your training. Ingesting plenty of carbohydrates is a necessity for anyone undergoing regular training and you should be aiming to get more than half your calories from this source.

Some of the most carbohydrate-rich foods include:

Grains (and grain-rich foods like rice, pasta and corn)
Root vegetables
Bread
Beans
Peas

– Fat

Fat often gets a bad rap when it comes to nutrition, but it is one of the most important elements of a proper diet and is essential for those in regular training. Having a sufficient level of body fat is vital if you’ll be undertaking a sustained workout and will be used as a source of energy during certain activities when carbohydrates and other sources are low. Unsaturated fats are the most desirable for those in training and you should be aiming for them to make up no more than a quarter of your daily caloric intake.

The best sources of fats are:

Olives and olive oil
Nuts
Seeds
Fish oil
Avocado

Honing your diet is going to be an ongoing struggle and you’re unlikely to ever achieve the perfect balance. But by bearing the above tips in mind and eating sensibly, you can ensure your training regime is backed up by a bastion of nutrition.
