You have to train at a real gym. Try to get into submission grappling/BJJ and kickboxing.

There are many fighters or fighter wannabees around the globe training in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). All have different skill levels, techniques and specialties that they can bring to the table. But what makes a fighter stand out from the rest? When can you say that a fighter truly has become the ultimate?
Certainly, there are many factors that contribute to this like time investment, a great trainer, money, and great skills. But these things will all be nothing when a fighter does not have true dedication and good nutrition to begin with. Having said this, it is safe to assume that before a fighter could rock the cage, he needs the right nutrients to be able to perform-just like any other human being.
Here are four simple nutritional choices that a fighter can make to help achieve maximum energy:
Pre-activity Carbohydrates
If you want you to maximize your energy and your stamina and overall performance to have a boost especially when you’re training in MMA, the best food choice you can make are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates have a reputation for being avoided by diet fans, but that is because after they consume carbohydrates, they don’t burn it. But as a fighter, carbohydrates play a vital role as a source of energy before and after any activity related to your sport.
It is also important to consider what carbohydrate to consume before activity. If your workout or training in MMA is less than an hour, consume faster burning carbohydrates like fruit and energy bars. But if goes on to an hour or more, slower burning carbohydrates should be consumed like rice, potatoes, pasta and oatmeal as they provide a more sustained energy over a long period of time.
Post-activity Carbohydrates
Most fighters do not know that replacing the carbohydrates burned during the workout an hour or so after session will greatly increase their athletic performance, as it puts their body at a high level once again. But fast acting carbohydrates are to be consumed like fruits and energy bars/drinks as they recharge the body faster.
Common sense: Hydration
Dehydration is your worst enemy against ultimate performance. Everything mentioned above will mean nothing if your body does not get enough water. Water is your fuel and your basic need. So be smart and hydrate.
Creatine
Creatine is a popular supplement to the athletes. It is an amino acid that provides the body with energy. Creatine creates phosphocreatine that gets stored in the muscle cells to supply you with high energy perfect for short duration and intense exertions such as punching, kicking, grappling, takedowns and just about everything else you need when fighting or training in MMA.

Post-Workout Nutrition for the MMA Fighter Training In MMA
Fighters training in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) very well know that their regular workouts are always intense. To be able to maximize the results one gets after a hard training session, the supplements and nutrients the fighter consumes after the workout could have a huge impact on how he will be rewarded for the work he did while training.
When one is going to invest a lot of time training and doing workouts to become a great fighter, he might as well want to get the greatest possible benefit.
During an intense workout, the body uses carbohydrates, amino acids and fluids at a rapid rate. Naturally, after intense workout training in MMA, the fighter’s store of carbohydrates, fluids and glycogen (the carbohydrate that is stored in the muscles and liver) are depleted. If they are not replenished, the body will not be able to recover properly and will result to a poor performance during the next workout.
The aim of a good post-workout diet is to replenish the body of what was lost during the workout. This will not only help you recover from your training session and be ready for the next one, but will also allow you to improve your conditioning and fighting skills at a much faster rate.
Here are the most important nutrients that the body needs after an intense workout:
Carbohydrates
Glycogen replenishment is most critical after an intense workout, so a fighter should focus on carbohydrate intake, although never in excess. The right amount of carbohydrates helps increase the body’s insulin levels, which help facilitate rebuilding of glycogen levels more effectively. Intake of carbohydrates also helps the body return to an anabolic state, which assists in the enhancement and repair of lean muscle tissue.
Protein
Protein is a crucial component of a post-workout meal when training in MMA. While protein is good, fat is not as it only slows down digestion. The point of this meal plan is to get the carbohydrates, amino acids and protein as quickly as possible into the muscles for it to begin recuperating and for the lean muscle tissues to rebuild after they have been broken down during the workout.
A fighter will want to take only lean proteins such as poultry, fish, seafood, egg whites, or a whey protein drink.
Hydration
This is common sense, but highly important and should always be kept in mind. The more you sweat, the more you should drink water, as this lays a big role in maximizing a fighter’s health and results when doing intense workout or training in MMA.
