To perform in the Octagon takes explosive power, agility and fitness that allows you to recover fast after taking your heart rate into the red zone. It’s either that or your opponent will see an opportunity to take you down and choke you out or decorate your face with bruises.

‘Rampage Jackson trains with 800m and 400m sprints to give him quick recovery times in the Octagon,’ says Rampage Jackson's strength and conditioning coach, Zach Light. The raw strength of the UFC star is obvious to see but unless this is to be converted into power that can be used during fights, the muscle is just baggage.

That conversion process requires velocity. Rampage Jackson shifts large amounts of weight but in bursts and still manages to crank out a lot of reps. ‘Speed is power. We use explosive moves to train the muscles to work together with strength and speed,’ says Zach Light. ‘The exercises mimic movements that you actually make in the Octagon.’ So try these conditioning moves on the right. They've been taken directly from Rampage Jackson’s training to improve your power, whatever your game.
