There’s lots of talk of the athletes coming into the sport now, and the lack of martial artists and “fighters.” Josh Barnett famously said there are more athletes than fighters in MMA, and the sport is suffering because of it. I somewhat agree with Barnett’s statement, but that doesn’t change the fact that sometimes, just sometimes, a fighter and an athlete comes along. When that does happen, we have a Nick Diaz, a Mayweather, a Rousey.
We were exclusively invited to observe Ronda Rousey during her strength and conditioning regimen, and Michael Mardones and Daniel Goland created a video to show you exactly how hard the champ works on a daily basis. Watch it.
