    • @canismajoris6733
      @canismajoris6733 2 года назад

      Spending time on skills gives more return than lifing weights. After a couple of years lifting you don't see as much improvement and it's better to focus on skill

    • @davidverdugo6266
      @davidverdugo6266 2 года назад

      @@canismajoris6733 true, lifting is great to do for a couple years to build newbie gains then you really plateau and the rest of your training should be prehab/rehab, correcting imbalances and keeping your strength, speed and muscular endurance. Plus consistently lifting for years and years will increase bone density and tendon and ligament strength.

    Judging by these videos with your old man you can see just how much of an inspiration he's been to you, not just with his strength, knowledge and work ethic but his honesty and humility. And in my very humble opinion those qualities shine through in you and your fighting career so far. As a 26 year old nobody from South Wales who likes to train MMA at a very novice level (at best) you truly are an inspiration to myself, and yet another British fighter that doesn't get half of the attention and commendation that he deserves from his home country.
    Big love and all the best on your journey to that shiny gold championship belt.💪🏼

    Hey mate, maybe one day you'll have a lad that'll come along to the gym and do big things and blow you away, like youre doing in front of your dad's eyes. Great to see it man, I'm 36 my old man's been gone a few years, he never lifted but he worked on farms and had that old man strength.
    Enjoy these years mate! Trains gonna be stopping at the title shot express, best of luck 👍

    A collab with other UK fighters eventually would be cool. Jack Shore, Paddy Pimblett, Tom Aspinall, Leon Edwards, Darren Till etc.
    Bisping is probably the easiest to get in touch with I'd imagine and he'd probably hype you up and give you some viewer traction.

He's been pushed to the side by the UFC too though, isn't fair. But that life hey. Let's hope Arnold gets more exposure and gets some decent fights this year or next. Lightweight is where it's at though at the minute. People are loving that division.

    When your next fight gets booked, ask bisping if you can be on his youtube channel. People should know you. Moderate+ MMA fans hear/know about all top 5 or 6 guys In 145, 155, 170 and 185 but you are never mentioned. You need need to get your name out there and get talked about more.

    The fact that Arnold (the future champ) is doing this without waist belt.
