When it comes down to the competition in combat sports, it really is an individual event. On the night of the fight, it's all up to the athlete to perform under the intense pressure of the spotlight. However, the weeks, months and years leading up to a bout are, at the highest levels, a carefully crafted training regime. There are coaches, training partners, nutritionists, sports psychology coaches, physiotherapists and more behind a fighter's ultimate success or failure inside the ring. In this episode of Fight IQ, we get to the bottom of how great teams are formed and operated by analyzing interviews by MMA pioneer Ken Shamrock, accomplished MMA head coach Duke Roufus and Ex-Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.
