According to the latest UFC news, Abu Dhabi is going to be the hotspot in April for MMA as lightweight contender Frankie Edgar takes on BJ Penn for what’s been described as the biggest fight of Edgar’s life. You can be certain that both physical and mental conditioning is included in Penn and Edgar’s bout preparation.

While many training programs focus on preparing the body to fight, a key component of any serious mixed martial arts training covers the mental aspect of fighting. A fighter may be trained to the peak of physical condition, but if he can’t deal with the mental aspects of pain, if he lets his opponent “psych” him out, or if he fails to see “tells” in his opponents’ moves, all that physical conditioning will have been for nothing.

If you check out the latest MMA blogs, you’ll see an increasing number of people talking about the importance of a good mental training program.

There is a lot to said about the mental aspects of mixed martial arts, despite it being one of the most physical sports in the world today.

If physical skill alone were the only component of fighting, champions like Royce Gracie would never have ascended to the heights in the sport of fighting. Grace, although much smaller, was smarter than many of his opponents, learned to understand how important it was to combine mental training with physical conditioning.
