I keep a close eye on UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships). You will always see varying styles but I am always very interested to see how competitors utilise Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
Canadian hero, Georges St-Pierre had an excellent performance against Matt Serra. Everyone looks at him as a stand-up fighter, however, Georges looked much stronger and showed what a great all-rounder he really is by beating a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) specialist, on the ground.
I really like Travis Luter, he is an excellent practitioner of BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), however, he showed how a lack of conditioning can be your downfall.
Come on! - conditioning is something that we can all work on and improve, there is no excuse for walking into such an arena in poor condition, especially against world class athletes like Rich Franklin.
The Englishman Michael Bisping, on the other hand dropped a weight category to Middleweight. At 185 pounds, he looks in fantastic condition. Michael looked strong and fast, I really look forward to his future fights in this category.
Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic art, however, your Jiu-Jitsu skills will become useless without good conditioning to back them up!
If you are involved in MMA, don’t let your fitness let you down. There are many programs available that will help you reach ultimate fitness. One such program is Martial Arts Conditioning
