[Anthony Perosh]

No question, just wanted to thank you for taking the time to stop by on the Forums for a Q&A. We really appreciate it!

Thank you. My pleasure!

@Anthony Perosh sorry last question.

Do you routinely have VO2 max tests and DEXA scans and with MMA growing as a whole do you see fighters using these avenues to increase their cardiovascular endurance and understanding of their body.

 

[Anthony Perosh]

Anthony, thanks for being gracious enough to join us here on the forums and we hope to have you back again soon.

Who was your toughest UFC fight and who hit the hardest?

Also, any thoughts on the possible unionization of MMA fighters in the UFC and larger organizations?

Thanks again!!!

And I am not a fan of unionisation!

 

[Anthony Perosh]

Hello Anthony. What's your physical conditioning-training consist of?

Run 3 times per week, weights 3 times per week, sprints 2 times per week, yoga once per week.

Who are your favorite Aussie up and coming fighters to keep an eye on?

 

[Mr. Jamie Cee]

Any young prospects that you're aware of/involved with that we should keep an eye out for in the future?

Thanks for taking the time to do this, Anthony!

I always did beep tests/shuttle runs to calculate my VO2. if I was still fighting I would get all the tests done annually.

I feel while is could possibly benefit the fighters from a financial standpoint, it could also cause many strikes/disputes that would also inhibit the sport, such as in NHL/NBA and such

Bit of a double edged sword

Keep an eye out of fighters from my gym!

Out of all the champions of in LHW/HW history, who would you have loved to fight the most?

If ever you are interested (and especially your up and coming fighters) you should contact the University of Sydney's human movement department. I've worked with a few people there and they always have masters/PhD students that need to develop/hone their skills. They'd do it for free and could be invaluable to your rising UFC stars/yourself.

Randy Couture.

Troll question:

How would you do against the P4P numero uno, Conor Mcgregor?

Hey guy. 3 parts questions! What do you think of RIZIN, have you see any of the events and could you see yourself coming out of retirement to compete there?

I would keep my distance, then blitz him with straight punches till I put him against the cage, take him down with a Bearhug Corscrew takedown to half guard, pass his half guard to mount, punch him from mount, he will then roll belly down where I would finish him with a RNC!

I would love to see more MMA shows worldwide.

Not sure about coming out of retirement for MMA!
