www.combatreadytraining.co.uk We invited Men's Fitness magazine to join one of our S&C sessions as we prepare Oli Thompson for his UFC debut in November. See how Nick got on in this video! Check out this video of Men's Fitness's Nick Hutchings going through a conditioning session with UK UFC heavyweight Oli Thompson. September 2011 Former strongman and UCMMA heavyweight champion Oli Thompson has just been signed to the UFC. In his first fight for the promotion -- at UFC 138 in Birmingham on 5th November -- he's taking on submission specialist Philip De Fries. We went to meet Thompson and his trainer Christian Vila at Cheetah's gym in Brighton to have a go at one of the conditioning sessions Thompson is going through to prepare himself for the bout. While we weren't suprised by Thompson's colossal strength, we were shocked at how quick and explosive he was. De Fries is certainly going to have his hands full at UFC 138.
