About this ebook
The ultimate fitness guide by former high ranking fighter and one of the top MMA trainers in the country, Santino DeFranco—with a foreword from the two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo.
To be “fight ready” is to exist in a state of optimal physical and mental preparedness that enables a fighter to execute and perform at a peak level at any moment. In Fight Ready, Santino DeFranco draws on his expertise from training world-class mixed martial artists and UFC fighters like Henry Cejudo, Tracy Cortez, Kamuela Kirk, and The Korean Zombie to show readers how to become fight ready inside and outside of the cage.
Through healthy, gimmick-free, easy-to-understand techniques, Fight Ready helps readers learn how to lose weight and keep it off while improving their strength, endurance, and mental outlook towards their health. Highlighting successful and safe practices for readers at every stage of their fitness journey, Fight Ready simulates a customizable professional fight camp experience for readers to achieve their own diet and fitness goals—whether or not they ever intend to compete in MMA.
In a market saturated by faux science and magic bullet diets, Fight Ready cuts through the noise to provide clear, practical diet and fitness advice that is actionable, sustainable, and battle-tested—all while offering VIP, behind-the-scenes access to the world of mixed martial arts and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
So, are you ready to become fight ready?
