MMA fighter lift alot of weights?

[pota77]

Do mma fighters lift heavy? Or do they do more conditioning work ? I saw a interview where one guy said he didnt lift weights at all and just trained martial arts only.

They will do some, as per all fighters, but only where needed

MMA fighters will lift weights, but not the way a bodybuilder does. They will be doing more functional movements. Walking lunges while holding dumbbells, kettle bell swings etc

they train in MMA.. any weight training they might do is nothing like what we do
