The path to work with the top athletes? ⬇️

Get the nutrition degree. Everything after that is a long grind, and nobody skips it unless your childhood friend becomes the next Conor McGregor. Yes, there are more doors now than when my generation started, like the UFC Performance Institute internship. But what makes the difference is being willing to push.

My first check from a UFC athlete came in 2019, from .

Do you agree

Side note: I’m not the greatest at Marketing, and I had to relocate to one of the countries with the strictest immigration policies, and that probably made the whole process longer.

I am in Florida working with Arman Tsarukyan, and he was still sleeping. The living room celebration definitely didn't match the performance. Absolutely clamorous, and approved by the legend .
Bravo Yadong.

Following the same macro split every single day makes zero sense.
In consultations, I hear from many athletes that their are using either one static set of macros everyday or a basic binary split: a “training day” and a “rest day.” That is a mistake for recreational athletes, and even more so for pros.
If an athlete has seven distinct training days across the week, we might need to build seven different protocols.
Fuel the work required. Simple as that.

Eight years ago, I was on fight week directing the nutrition side, I ended up making pasta for one of my athletes, and word spread from there. I am certainly not a Michelin-star chef, but I love the process of getting into the kitchen and cooking for my guys.
This is Arman Tsarukyan’s 7-day menu as we sit one month out from his fight against Mauricio Ruffy.
