Inside MMA: Lyoto Machida’s Training

In this video from “Inside MMA,” Lyoto Machida does his best to explain how his training has evolved. He has physical education training now! I can only assume that involves a lot of kickball, some freeze tag, and the occasional mile run.

Gilbert Yvel trains for Josh Barnett

Tom Atencio is saying that the winner of Day of Reckoning’s Josh Barnett/Gilbert Yvel fight will face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko/Andrei Arlovski, we might as well see how Yvel’s doing these days. Judging from the recent training clip shown above, he likes his chances for next month’s match, even though he acknowledges his deficient ground game (while giving credit to his opponent’s submission skills). He stops just short of actually apologizing for his ugly in-ring behavior in the past, but does state that he’s very happy to fight in the States again. “It’s one time, and never again,” he says. Not sure if that “one time” refers to the eye-gouging, the biting, or the ref-stomping — maybe all three.

Sean Sherk Trains for Tyson Griffin UFC 90

If you’ve ever wondered where Sean Sherk gets his endless gas tank, check out the agony he puts himself through at Minnesota’s Athletic Performance Inc. Their infamous “Caveman Training” sessions push cardio and muscle endurance to the absolute limit, incorporating everything from steeply-inclined treadmill-running to what looks like double-dutch rope-swinging, which I guess isn’t just for little girls and fairies anymore. Even the insanely conditioned Muscle Shark is sucking air and checking his watch before long. Sherk returns to action at UFC 90 (October 25th, Chicago) against Tyson Griffin, who has gone to a decision in his last five fights — which shouldn’t be a problem for Sean.

Randy Couture Highlight Video

today’s announcement that Randy Couture will return to the UFC to defend his heavyweight title in November has us all a little amped. So amped, in fact, that it’s hard to focus on any other MMA-related stories right now. So let’s just enjoy a look at some of Captain America’s greatest moments and consider what the future might hold.

And a nice training montage with a soundtrack that will really get your heart pumping.
