UFC stars wage war on injuries with four days of intense physical education
The UFC hates injuries. If a main-event fight was never scuppered again by a last-minute pull-out, you wouldn’t hear any grumbling around Zuffa HQ in Las Vegas. It hopes training practices from new performance partner EXOS will be able to help keep athletes off the treatment table and keep them fighting for longer. Some of the first fighters to test its methods were Kelvin Gastelum, Kamaru Usman, Paul Felder and Max Holloway, who were put through their paces with a few days of intense training in the Arizona sun.
