In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to change it up a little bit and interview Angelo, who is the creator of We Want Picks. We Want Picks is a team of content creators who focus on UFC betting and DFS information. On top of that, they have a ton of wonderful tools that many other MMA sites don't have. Tools like a Draftkings optimizer, fight theory, and even a fight simulator that is one of a kind. During the episode, Angelo and I discussed the current state of the UFC and why it's continued to grow despite many of the sites being scared to offer products due to the volatility of this sport. This was an amazing interview that spans from the early days of Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock to the current roster of athletes that are taking over the sport. This interview is truly one of a kind and shows the support the UFC industry has for rookies like us. It's time to buckle up because this is going to be a wild ride into the world of combat sports. Have a great day, everyone, and may the picks be with you. *Explicit Content* Due to the graphic nature of combat sports, there were fights talked about in detail, from this weekend, that could be disturbing to others.

Coaching elite mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes demands creativity, adaptability, and a global mindset. Gavin Pratt, Senior Director of Strength and Conditioning at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Performance Institute, shares insights from his international career. Pratt reflects on preparing athletes for the Chinese National Games and managing strength and conditioning at the world’s first MMA academy in Shanghai. Applying a systems-based approach, he tackles MMA’s unique challenges — including unpredictable training schedules, diverse personalities and backgrounds, session intensity, and load management. Driven by passion rather than prestige, Pratt emphasizes he’s never been a "tracksuit hunter" — someone motivated primarily by titles or status. He highlights MMA’s innovation potential, especially when using individualized technology based on athletes' force or velocity deficiencies. Pratt contrasts the United States’ expertise in speed, agility, and change of direction with Australia’s early adoption of sports science. He also provides valuable interview advice to help coaches communicate effectively under pressure. Discover practical strategies to elevate your coaching impact.

We have an opportunity to see the world, see different experiences, and understand even our own industry better.” 7:20 “It's getting out of your comfort zone, no matter how uncomfortable that is. That's probably up to the individual. But there's a journey as part of any career. You can't skip the queue. There's a process to accumulating knowledge and experience. So you might have all the Xs and Os down pat, but even the inexperience might not allow you to express that knowledge as well as maybe you could. That's part of the journey, as well, learning what works and what doesn't for different athletes and different colleagues, even. It's part of the process, and you can't rush it.” 10:40 “We need to find people that understand the science, but have an even better understanding of how they can communicate that simply and effectively to colleagues and athletes. That is the skill set of being an S&C coach ultimately. […] You can have all the knowledge of the theory, but if it doesn't come from here and be expressed from a really simplistic standpoint, then it's not as valuable as what it could be.” 23:50

In this episode, I'm joined by Joel Jamieson, renowned strength and conditioning coach, educator, and creator of Morpheus and 8WeeksOut.com.

This conversation hits on everything from the culture of overtraining, long-term athletic development, and the dangers of early sport specialization to how we can support the next generation of athletes (and ourselves) through better coaching and smarter recovery.   Connect with Joel: Instagram: @coachjoeljamieson Websites: 8WeeksOut - https://8weeksout.com/ Morpheus - https://trainwithmorpheus.com/    If you're a parent, coach, or athlete trying to train smarter—not just harder—this episode is for you.
