Train like an athlete and transform your body

Meet Mike Ricci: From the Octagon to You

Let’s get right to it: I started out fighting for free, driven by nothing but grit and a love for combat sports that no amount of money could buy. That hunger took me from Montreal, Canada, all the way to the bright lights of Las Vegas and the biggest fight stage in the world—the UFC. Through every battle and every roaring crowd, I learned one unshakable truth: real fighting can be one of the most honest reflections of who you are.

But you don’t need a big stage or a championship belt to build a fighter’s mindset or physique; you just need the will to push yourself. Whether you’re stepping into this world for the first time or you’re a seasoned professional, it comes down to silencing excuses and rising to the challenge—and I’m here to guide you through each punch you throw, each weight you lift, and every moment in between.
