UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championship

Wisconsin heavyweight Ben Rothwell (32-9) gets a backyard brawl this weekend at UFC 164 in Milwaukee. Coming off a loss, Rothwell hopes the dietary and training changes he’s implemented will carry over into a victory against veteran Brandon Vera (12-6, 1 NC). Read the three basic -- but big -- changes that he's made to ready himself for battle.

Eating Improvements
“Dieting has been a constant battle for me,†Rothwell told UFC.com. “But for the past two years, eating better has become a lifestyle, and I’ve been working hard to get my body at its optimum level.â€

 

Another change Rothwell and his team implemented has been a cardio circuit with seven stations — a Concept 2 rower, Jacob’s Ladder, track run, VersaClimber, Real Runner, Airdyne bike, and recumbent bike — that he does twice a week.

“There’s a set distance you have to meet, and you get a one-minute rest in between each station,†he added. “It never gets easier because each station is a sprint.â€

“With other types of conditioning, I don’t see if it’s improving my MMA as much as it should. And some of my past conditioning has even hindered it,†he said. “But pushing my cardio has pushed my training. I spar with big and small guys, and in the later rounds, those smaller guys are the ones who push you. But when I’m pushing them, or guys are taking rounds off and I’m doing every one, I can see my conditioning is getting fixed.â€
