POLOKWANE – Here’s how fighters get ready for the ring
Ever wondered how MMA fighters get ready for big tournaments? Well, you need look no further as Review got an sneak peek at how local fighters and wrestlers are preparing for the 2017 fight season.
Here are a few videos that show just how hard these fighters work to get into the ring – or cage.
In this video, Mixed Martial Arts fighters from Guts and Glory MMA and wrestlers from Ion Baciu Wrestling Academy demonstrating a rigorous exercise.
During the demonstration, one fighter or wrestler must take on a number of other fighters until the time runs out. The others must be relentless and ply on as much pressure as possible, not allowing the single fighter any time to rest. In this video, Elbert Steyn (in blue) faces off against his fellow fighters and wrestlers.
Second video: Wrestlers and Fighters end their training with various exercises to increase their fitness.
