Best way to prepare for an amateur MMA fight

[SoulBrother12]

I have a fight coming up in 5 weeks, and i was wondering what the best way to prepare would be, such as my diet and fitness

i already train 6 out of 7 days a week

monday - thai boxing
tuesday - mma
wednesday - thai boxing
thursday - rest
friday - mma and circuit
saturday - mma and circuit
sunday - BJJ and mma sparring

any advice will be appreciated

thanks

Smart. Just reading the n00bies one. I feel quite bewildered by diet/nutrition at the moment so good article to start getting your head round things!

First off, wrong forum

Second, you need discipline, not advice. You know what crap food is, stop eating it

yeah, a lot of it is similar to berardi's 90% rule but its great stuff all the same

I noticed that, just been getting my head around Berardi, his is probably the most common sense thing I have read.

[MikeyL]

His stuff is excerlent.

For simple stuff you cant beat Charles Polliquin
