PRO MMA Fighter Strength & Conditioning Workout

 

I have been visiting Tristar Gym in Montreal every Tuesday indefinitely to be part of Aiemann Zahabi's fight camp for his UFC fight in May. After my sparring session last Tuesday, I dropped by pro fighter Xavier Alaoui's gym, 360 Punch, for a strength & conditioning session. I was obviously very tired after my session at Tristar, so forgive me for my lack of technique! Nonetheless, it's a very effective and tough workout that some of the pros use!
