UFC ON FX 1: DUANE “BANG” LUDWIG SAYS KEY TO HIS SUCCESS
IS FIGHTING HIS OPPONENTS, NOT THE SCALES

 

by Damon Martin, MMAWeekly.com
Duane ‘Bang’ Ludwig can pinpoint why he’s a better fighter these days and it all boils down to his move to welterweight and his work with nutrition guru Mike Dolce. Ludwig, who fought for much of his career at lightweight, says that when he stopped fighting the scales, he was able to concentrate on actually training and getting better in the gym. Now he’ll look to build on his recent consistency when he faces Josn Neer at UFC on FX 1 in Nashville, in a fight most are pegging as ‘Fight of the Night’ already. Check out Duane ‘Bang’ Ludwig’s one on one interview with MMAWeekly.com including his thoughts on getting the fastest KO recognition from the UFC:

The Fighting Life: Mike Dolce (Part I) HeavyMMA’s Duane Finley talks with Mike Dolce about the path that led him to prominence as MMA’s most famous diet and nutrition coach in Part I of The Fighting Life.
In the scientific world, a catalyst is a compound that is necessary for change to occur, but the compound itself remains unchanged. Without its presence, there is no reaction. After the reaction has taken place, it can be removed – and yet the change remains. Enter Mike Dolce and “The Dolce Diet.”

Vitor Belfort Expected to Weigh Approximately 205 Pounds Come UFC 142
By Ariel Helwani

So just how much of a size advantage will Anthony Johnson have over Vitor Belfort Saturday night at UFC 142? Well, we already know that "Rumble" weighed 204.2 pounds this morning, hours after missing the middleweight mark Friday afternoon when he weighed 197 at the weigh-ins. Belfort's highly-regarded nutritionist and trainer Mike Dolce told MMAFighting.com Saturday morning from Brazil that Belfort weighed 205 pounds at 9:15 p.m. local time Friday night, and he believes "The Phenom" will be around that weight by the time he steps into the cage Saturday night.

CUTTING 32 POUNDS OFF KEITH JARDINE WAS AN "EASY PROCESS" SAYS MIKE DOLCE
By Ben Fowlkes
MMAFighting.com

When former UFC light heavyweight contender Keith Jardine first started telling people that he wanted to drop to middleweight, the response was, shall we say, not terribly enthu

siastic. He got polite nods from reporters and raised eyebrows from fans and fellow fighters. One prominent trainer who had worked with 

him in the past even asked me privately, "How? Is he going to cut off a leg?"

And yet, at Friday's Strikeforce weigh-ins he stepped on the scale weighing 185 pounds on the dot for his title fight against Luke Rockhold on Saturday night. Like many fighters these days, he has nutritionist Mike Dolce to thank for it. READ FULL ARTICLE

An old favorite is now a favorite again. Dates.

by Todd
I have been getting dates from my local farmers market here in California and I have fallen in love with them once again. I used to buy them at the grocery store but tired of them after a while. The difference in texture and flavor is vast, between store bought and fresh picked.
I know not everyone can get fresh picked. The ones you buy in the store can be helped by soaking in water or almond milk and blending into a smoothie.

THIAGO “PITBULL” ALVES WINS VIA RNC IN 1st ROUND

"The Dolce Diet came to me at the perfect time. I started 3W2S when I was 214lbs and growing.

I wasn't "overweight" but I was over the weight I should be.

Beyond that I was not feeling good, in other words I wasn't as healthy as I should be.

I ordered 3w2s, went ALL IN and within 3-4 weeks I was at 191 lbs. Then I dropped a few more and have not wavered, and am at 189 lbs since.

If you are "still thinking", "holding off", "skeptical", don't be.

Just get it, just make the 3 wk sacrifice and see what happens.

UFC ON VERSUS 5:
DUANE LUDWIG EARNS SECOND STRAIGHT WIN AT 170

 

by Duane Finley
HeavyMMA.com

 

The fight between Amir Sadollah and Duane Ludwig was billed as a battle of Muay Thai practitioners. That’s exactly how it played out.
As the first fight on the televised portion of the UFC on Versus 5 card, Sadollah and Ludwig wasted no time getting down to business. A striker vs. striker match-up, there wasn’t a lot of expectation the action would hit the mat, and when they met in the center of the Octagon it was fireworks. READ MORE
