Posted on November 26, 2024 by A. J. Riot

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is more than just combat skills like strength, strong attacks, and punching. But there is much more than just simply cracking into one another. There’s also strategy and thinking at play as well. The top MMA fighters are not just physically strong; they outsmart them by combining strategy, flexibility, and pre-meditated actions. Fight IQ is what usually divides champions from their rivals.

Exclusive Interview with Caged Steel 38 competitor, Faz Ali

Posted on November 17, 2024 by Heather

Introduction

The first encounter that Faz Ali had with martial arts was with Jeet Kune Do (JKD). The creator of that specific style was Bruce Lee. JKD incorporates various techniques including: Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Taekwondo, boxing, fencing, and Jiu Jitsu. Ali is devoted to his training for his upcoming bout in the Doncaster, United Kingdom, against Lucas Tenorio at Caged Steel 38 on December 7, 2024. Ali began his professional MMA career with a seven fight win streak. This looks like it will be a more challenging fight for Tenorio, as Ali is extremely diverse with the techniques. This gentleman is diligent about health and training. He is dedicated to doing what it takes to level up and move on to advance his career. December 7, 2024 will be his second Caged Steel appearance. His opponent is also a well-rounded fighter. Both contestants have the majority of their wins come by the way of submission.
