ONE FC: Return of Warriors set for February 2nd!

The ONE FC is back at it again! The last ONE FC event, Rise of Kings, was an exciting event where we saw the long anticipated ONE FC debut of Shinya Aoki and the crowing of ONE FC's first two champions. Now it has been confirmed that ONE FC will be returning on February 2nd. The event will be called ONE FC: Return of Warriors. Return of Warriors will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


The lightweight and featherweight belts will probably be on the line at this event. If the chance to be the inaugural ONE FC Featherweight champion is on the line it will probably be a battle between the two Filipino warriors Eric "The Natural" Kelly(9-0) and Team Lakay's Honorio "The Rock" Banario(7-1). That has great potential to be an exciting fight. If the lightweight belt is on the line then it will be Kotetsu Boku(20-7-2) fighting either number one Japanese fighter Shinya "Tobikan Judan" Aoki(31-6-1NC) or the number one Filipino lightweight and Team Lakay memeber Eduard "Landslide" Folayang(12-3). With Folayang losing his fight in the most recent URCC event, via Doctor Stoppage, he might not get the title shot. Aoki is rumored to be fighting on the upcoming DREAM New Year's Eve card. If he Aoki can pick up another win and take little damage he might very well be the one that ONE FC favors for the title shot. These all make for exciting matches that should hopefully bring the fans some exciting finishes.

Let's hope they give us another exciting event, another stacked card, and some champions being crowned.

These are not official but if I was to be putting fights together for this card these are the ones that I would set up,

Lightweight Title- Kotetsu Boku vs Eduard Folayang
Inaugural Featherweight Title- Eric Kelly vs Honorio Banario
Bantamweight Title- Soo Chul Kim vs Bibiano Fernandes

Lightweight Bout- Shinya Aoki vs Felipe Enomoto(Then give Aoki the title shot if he were to win)
Lightweight Bout- Arnaud Lepont vs Eddie Ng
Feathereweight Bout- Mitch Chilson vs Bae Young Kwon
Bantamweight Tournament Semi Final- Jens Pulver vs Kevin Belingon

Body Types

Body type influences how you respond to diet and training. Understand your body type in order to plan your muscle building training and diet program.

ECTOMORPH

An ectomorph is your typical bean pole like individual. Ecto’s have a light build with smaller joints and lean muscle. Usually ectomorph’s have longer/thinner limbs with stringy muscles. Shoulders tend to be thin with very little width.

Typical traits of an ectomorph:

Small “fragile” frame and bone structure

Classic “can go to the gym 8 days a week and gain nothing”

Flat chest

Small shoulders

Very thin

Lean muscle mass

Finds it difficult to gain weight

Rapid metabolism

Ectomorphs find it very difficult to gain weight. They have a fast metabolism which allows their bodies to burn calories at a rapid pace. Ecto’s need a  amount of calories in order to gain weight. Workouts should be brief and intense focusing on the biggest muscle groups on the body. I recommend the use of supplements to aide muscle growth. Ectomorphs should eat before bed to prevent muscle catabolism during the night. Be careful because ecto’s lose fat easily which makes going back to lean muscle. My advice CARBS CARBS CARBS LIFT LIFT LIFT !!!!!!!!!

MESOMORPH –MY BODY TYPE

A mesomorph has a larger bone structure, large muscles and is naturally athletic. Mesomorphs are the ideal body type for bodybuilding. They have to monitor their carb intake because they gain and lose weight easily. They truly are the best body type for bodybuilding and strength training.

Typical traits on a Mesomorph:

Athletic

Solid body

Tone musculature

Strong

Rectangular shaped body

Gains muscle quickly and more easily

Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs

When it comes to weight training mesomorphs gain the fastest. Beginners usually see gains very quickly. The downside to mesomorphs is they gain fat more easily than ectomorphs. Weight training and cardio are crucial for meso’s because they gain weight a lot faster than ecto’s.  Get IN THE GYM OR YOU WILL GET LOVE HANDLES!!!

ENDOMORPH

The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft. Endomorphs gain fat faster than the other body types. Endo’s usually have a short build with thick arms and legs. Their lower legs are very strong. They are usually strong all around. Endomorphs find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.

Typical traits of an Endomorph:

Soft and round body

Gains muscle and fat very easily

Is generally short and “stocky”

Round physique

Finds it hard to lose fat

Slow metabolism

Gaining weight is very easy for endomorphs. However, that weight is usually fat and not muscle. CARDIO IS A MUST! Don’t slack on your cardio or you will continue to gain fat. Supplements usually are not needed just keep your protein intake up.

combination of body types.

These body types are not definite; most guys have a combination of two body types. Either ectomorph/mesomorph or mesomorph/endomorph are common combos. Some meso’s can gain weight like an endo.

I hope you can figure out which type of body type you are now. You should be able to identify it from the descriptions given in this article.

My final advice is that, regardless of body type, you need to be in the gym working out and running. Supplements never hurt either……..

The Pursuit of Bodily perfect

                                   

        Since the beginning of time man has bled, sweat, and clawed in the pursuit of one thing, bodily perfection. What is it that drives one to the point of obsession over being physically strong and muscular? Is it the fear of weakness or the desire to overpower one’s enemies? Whatever the case may be one thing is apparent, we all yern for the perfect body.

            

        I personally have yet to gain the perfect form previously mentioned, but I have tried various muscle building methods, fitness supplements and fitness programs. Certain things have been beneficial, others not so much. You must experiment with different combinations of methods in order to find what works for your body type. Whether you are overweight, skinny or just looking to get bigger, there is a program for you.

      I , the admin with the plan to win, will give you fitness tips and insight on the rigors of weightlifting cardiovascular  exercises, etc. Worried about supplement use? Well look no further because I will be giving recommendations on some of the leading muscle building pills and powders. I also will be sampling a new supplement every month and will give feedback. Supplements can prove crucial to any weightlifting program.

     There is no shame in admitting your body isn’t what you wish it was. It takes hard work and dedication to see results and to feel comfortable in your own skin. I myself wish certain parts of my body were bigger, more tone, and more symmetrical. There is always room for improvement and we at MMA Repz are here to help you get one step closer to bodily perfection.

                 

 Okay everybody I’ve decided to do a 24 hour review on the supplement N.O. Fury.

      -Took three capsules at 8:30 p.m. ,30 minutes before my workout.  

     - Didn’t feel any kind of a rush. This is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t contain caffeine.

      - I started my workout doing some light bicep curls. Didn’t feel any increase in pumps but felt an increase in hardness.

       -Then I did five bicep supersets with pull-ups in between supersets. Felt a noticeable increase in pumps. Still think N.O Xplode gave me better pump output but Fury did the job.

       - Noticed my arms becoming swollen and my veins popping out slightly more than usual

       - After that  3 sets of 21’s with the straight bar. Pumps felt stronger during this lift.

       -Following the 21’s I decided to do some weighted dips. I pumped outreps  25 pretty easily with pumps were adequate. I repeated 5 times seeing similar results.

         - Next were skull crushers. I did five sets of 20 and pumps were not as powerful as previously stated….damn my ability to develop my triceps so awesomely.

          -I finished my workout with my favorite lift, power cleans. I threw on 205 lbs. and got it up 10 times. Pumps felt stellar. Next I put 215 on the bar and got 8 reps. Pumps same as before. 225 I managed to get up for 6 reps, 235 4 time, and 245 for two. Pump felt good for each set. Felt too worn down to go any higher.

        - Noticed my muscles were extremely hard and my veins were clearly showing more than usual

       - I went home, had a protein shake, and ate a big plate of spaghetti. Hardness stayed with me until I hit the ye old hay.

          Overall view on this product- It wasn’t the best pre-workout supplement I’ve ever taken, but it wasn’t the worse. Would I recommend use of the product?  Sure give it the good ole college try fellas. It’s very cheap, at $9.99, and available at your local Walmart.

                 This review was brought to you by the admin with the plan to win aka The Tustbuster 3000

Miesha Tate doesn't feel she is ready for rematch with Rousey

Miesha Tate and Julie Kedzie put on an awesome fight on Saturday night. Miesha was showing heart and managed to come back in the fight and win by a third round arm bar. Miesha doesn't feel she is ready for the title shot yet though,

"I'm not going to ask for that at that point because I don't feel that I deserve it. I think that I need to take a couple fights and I need a better performance than that. I think the fans deserve something better, and I know that I can deliver better than that. ... At this point, I don't feel that my performance, I mean everyone is saying it was ‘Fight of the Night' and everything and that's great and I'm really happy it was an entertaining bout. But I personally am not happy with my performance. I definitely don't think it was a contention worthy performance."

"Jacare" Souza gets a devastating knockout win! Fight video included!

"Jacare" Souza is known for his amazing grappling and submission but he also has very good hands. His striking has been improving greatly and this fight shows it.

Either him or Lorenz Larkin will be getting the next shot at Rockhold's twice defended belt.

Shinya Aoki vs Arnaud Lepont set for ONE FC: Rise of Kings in October

It was announced today on the ONE Fighting Championship facebook page that the former and last DREAM FC lightweight champion Shinya Aoki will be taking on French champion Arnaud Lepont. Also on this card the first ONE FC champions will be crowned.

Shinya Aoki has been working on becoming much more than a one dimensional grappler and submission specialist. He is great at submissions but he has been improving in his striking and has definitely shown in improvement especially with his clinch. Maybe he will decide to keep this one standing or he just might give us another spectacular submission.

Arnaud Lepont is definitely not to be underestimated. He is not nearly as big of a name as Aoki but he has proven himself. He took the action to Brian Choi at ONE FC: War of the Lions and came out with the vitory.

Cro Cop says he wants to prove he can still compete or die trying

Many fans think the PRIDE FC legend "Cro Cop" should retire meanwhile some think otherwise. He still thinks he can compete at a with the younger guys in MMA or dying trying.

"Concerning my retirement from the UFC, I said it was my last fight for the UFC and last fight on the present contract, but I did not say, 'I won't keep fighting,' I never said that. I think the best thing to say is that I was born to fight. If you ask me, when I look deep into my soul, of course I would like to fight MMA again. People don't get it. Martial arts is my life. My motivation now is to prove to everyone that I'm still capable of being in the cage. I'm not old. I'm 37, but I can do things that fighters 10 years younger cannot. I will prove that, or I will die trying."
