Are you sure?


Well think about it like this lets begin with the use of some common sense that the UFC Performance Institute is at the heart of fighter town so to speak near the MGM Grand T-Mobile Arena only 14 minutes away from where all the Boxing and UFC fights are usually held.

Links:-
Address: UFC Performance Institute 6650 S Torrey Pines Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89118, USA

Webpage: UFC Performance Institute

Address: MGM Grand Main Event Fight Venue T-Mobile Arena 3780 South Las Vegas Boulevard NV 89109

Webpage: Entertainment


Its also made up of a large body of investors that have poured in millions to see success, surely that accounts for the new direction they are taking.

Not forgetting the new owners - WME-IMG

William Morris Endeavor-International Marketing Group is a huge conglomerate that merged in 2013 after WME purchased IMG for a reported $2.4 billion price tag. WME already boasted an incredibly powerful slate of clients as a talent agency representing movies, television, music and more. Some of the clients represented by WME include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Oprah Winfrey, Dwayne Johnson, Justin Timberlake, Drake and Rihanna.

IMG is an international sports, events and talent management agency based out of New York. IMG hosts a number of big sporting events and also heads up the PBR — Professional Bull Riders.

Since merging, WME-IMG have worked on a ton of crossover promotions combining the talent agency’s impressive roster of talent with events and sports programming.

Referenced from:- Meet the new owners who paid $4 billion to buy the UFC | FOX Sports

So surely after so much change in a short time and money spent its not just going to go to waste but will be reinforced through fighter contract negotiations.

So as to how sure am I well let the $$$$ speak also its the latest in state of the art facilities you would be stupid not to use the facility to gain knowledge and maximize your performance.

So some fighters will drop off the radar and disappear others who embrace the sport and career as a total awareness for performance and maximizing their potential will succeed, thats how sure I am.

Keep in mind fighters come from all walks of life even from some poor neighborhoods where there are leaks in the GYMS roof they train in and have poor conditions.

Also there are fees to keep in mind at other GYM's or training venues at the UFC Performance Institute its "Free of Charge"!

You can lead a horse to water but they still have to drink it.............. is really the key here!;)

after listening to Joe Rogan talk a little about the new owners. i think i see a pattern forming. i think the new owners are building the professionalism of the UFC first they brought in specialists to get the sport drug free and this facility makes the organization look all the more professional. the NFL is worth around $74 billion. i would take a guess that WME wants to bring it to that level. it is things like this facility that will get them there.

I wouldn't expect attendance at this facility (or lack thereof) to be a determining factor in whether someone becomes an elite fighter.
I don't care much about individual benefits (as I will not be the one using this Center). I am more curious about what can they learn and teach about the human body and training methods. It could benefit lots of people (including me), at least to some extent.

here's a fighter chopping logs to prepare for a fight, they even make mention of f m chopping logs in training, a bet CM would have won if the ufc centre had a log chopping facility

Hughie Fury's hardcore training regime in the Lake District

LoL,

Well thats not really training though neither is that real conditioning and there is no aid of technology to assist in correcting any alignment in the body mechanics to enhance speed, power and accuracy in the refinement of technique and body structure type.

Also to make a point they have various weight pull down machines that simulate chopping logs ;)



Also there is resistance band training work as well.

So you get more in a modern gym with a full computer analysis on your condition strong and weak points for performance improvement.

Not to mention rigorous training breaks down the body including before and after a fight where recovery methods and technology to speed up the process is needed.

This is exactly what the UFC Performance Institute offers to fighters a specialized service with intelligent solutions and preventive measures of the modern era.

This ain't Rocky movies LoL ;)

I'm not sure if we are in a level of agreement or not?

this new,School, old school thing has come up before and I've made much the same point, resistance training is resistance train and cardio training, cardio training.

it makes little or no difference if you are lifting bits of tree or on a fancy chrome machine with electronic display. What does make a difference is the methodology, that is how you pick which exercises to do and balance intensity volume frequency and recovery to get the right level of fitness at the right time.

you really don't need an underwater running machine, unless you are reabiltating an injury and you want to reduce body weight whilst you do it. If you want to make running more difficult, try running in mud.if you want to make it easier run down hill,

ice baths are not new techniques, all you need is a regular bath and some ice

having the right staff on hand, be that,dieticians or PT etc, is a given, if they are doing that in a multi million pound facility or a muddy field is less important.

you might argue that its physiologicaly, better to be in a clean warm dry environment, unless your an out,door type, in which case running up a mountain in the rain is better

Will just have to agree to disagree like gentlemen then! ;)


I support modern and old training methods but favor modern performance training and technologies being more the future of understanding the human body and movement, that's just my opinion.

Agreed. There's likely some benefit in being able to measure more, but that's unlikely to be an immediate benefit to the individual. Given enough measurement over time, they'll have good information to tweak future programs.

having a Vo 2max machine, a scales and a heart rate monitor etc, might be a good idea, but you don't need a 6000 square foot building to put them in

Well its so much more than that, c'mon you are watering it down a fair bit in that statement.

For example what fascinates me about modern "Sports Performance Management" analysis and training is how right Bruce Lee was about the art of expressing the human body also mentioned in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do.

Its all the study they did on Conor McGregor for example how they analyzed and learned about his body mechanics through computer video motion capture and analyzing that for peak performance, structure corrections, measurement and bench-marking analysis.



You can learn more here about this stuff as well:- fight science full episodes - YouTube


The science with the intelligence of fighting and brain states of functional expression.

Here is Bruce Lee's published book:- https://www.amazon.com/Art-Expressing-Human-Body/dp/0804831297

you still fanboying over bruce lee. He didnt do anything new he was just the most famous person to do it. All this science stuff it's a waste of time. Do you really think playing around in a suit used to make video games will make you a better fighter by the way he didnt write that book look at the bottom of it compiled and edited by John little

Maybe if Conor mcgregor spent more time going out running and doing cardio than he does playing in motion capture suits maybe his cardio wouldn't be so appalling

Firstly the fertitas have nothing to do with the ufc anymore second they should be more concerned about their own fighters leaving to fight in other organisations because the pay is garbage instead of building some silly facility that basically means nothing because frankly all this fancy equipment doesn't make you any better than any old school equipment

Hey it's in Vegas. Flash and image are everything there. You're talking substance....

M8 will just have to agree to disagree then!

You are you and I am who I am! ;)

By the way since you posted that Bruce Lee is not the author do you understand what "COMPILED" and "EDITED" means from a book publisher point of view.

If you don't then ask Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce Lee's wife she has granted much of Bruce Lees personal notes, journals, movie transcript notes and studies of martial arts including the scientific studies of the human body and its mechanics, years after Bruce Lee's death to be published and not forgotten thats the compiled part the edited would simply mean grammar, punctuation, incomplete sentences and spelling so on.

Bruce Lee had his own short hand style of note taking and studying he also has his own style of Illustrations using little lined figured human bodies to demonstrate human movement or positioning etc

M8 there is over a billion martial artist followers of Bruce Lee teachings and form of MA known as JKD if you don't like it, or disagree or lost in the translation of what it really is thats you and more about you.

Also there are many embracing modern training and also using some old training methods which have proven to be useful over time.

There are over 800 differernt university Sport Science Degrees where they are discovering new things about the human body and its body mechanics and the use of technology to assit in sports you disagree thats fine but to deny it is a fact or even a thing is ignorance and you do come across very ignorant.

As an example you mention the motion capture suit being useless well you can analyze someones body mechanic type, kinetic energy through muscle movement, areas of improvement, bio mechanics alignment analysis, brain function states and neuron firing sequences or nervous system reaction times so to many areas of study to mention.

There are many "Case Studies" here is one I was reading the other day - The Dance of Love at Northumbria Uni

But like all first you must be willing to learn and accept and not be so quick to disapprove

Its all about choices we all have them and make them, what I like, you might not, in other words but that does not make it wrong necessarily depending on what is the subject matter and how well it is studied.

Before making a claim that could be false in nature or perception of truth.
