Today Mark Kinsella came to the USC training facility for his final hard conditioning for his upcoming MMA fight on march 30th.
We put him through 5 rounds of Tabata.
Round 1 shouldering the sandbag
Round 2 sprints on the bike
Round 3 haymakers on the bag
Round 4 prowler push
Round 5 burpees
Each round lasted 4min and was followed by a 1 minute rest. This was to emulate his fight (and then some) of 3 x 3min rounds with 1 minute breaks.

USC Diet Whet Protein Bars - by Ste Passey
By popular demand my recipe for my USC Diet Whey Protein Bars is detailed below. No baking is required and it takes literally 5 minutes to make. I don't measure or weigh anything its pretty much guess work and tailored to my own individual taste. However, everyone seems to like the way I make them.
These bad boys stop me demolishing on all kinds of crap and keep my sweet tooth at bay. The only trouble I have it trying not to eat them all at once. I usually limit myself to 2 per day. I tend to eat one in the morning for breakfast with my USC Diet Whey shake and the other around tea time. I either eat it as a snack or use it as something sweet after my tea.
Ingredients:
1 jar of Peanut Butter
1/4 Jar of Honey (or to taste)
Porridge Oats
USC Diet Whey
Skimmed Milk
Instructions:
1) Heat peanut butter in microwave so that it melts.
2) Pour in mixing bowl.
3) Add honey
4) Add oats until mixture turns to cement (you will understand when you actually do this!)
5) Add protein powder (1 scoop - any flavour)
6) Add a SPLASH of skimmed milk
7) Mix
8) Keep adding Porridge Oats until majority of moisture is absorbed (the oats will stop changing colour)
9) Empty mixture out onto baking paper and cover with a second sheet
10) Get a rolling pin and roll mixture out to required thickness. Once done cut using a knife and place in fridge to set.
SIMPLE!
I recommend that you use USC Diet Whey as firstly it tastes great and comes in a variety of flavours (I strongly recommend Peanut Toffee)! Secondly, it contains many ingredients that are ideal for loosing weight. You can use any old protein powder, but USC is better and as it contains the following:
31g Protein
1g Fat
3g Carbs
Green Tea
ACAI Berry
CLA
Furthermore, a 907g bag of the stuff only costs £20, which will give you 23 servings! That is a bargain in itself. You can purchase yours at www.uscnutrition.com

Cage Warriors Ste Dinsdale talks to MMAMount about stepping up to fight Carvalho
Ste Dinsdale holds an unbeaten professional record of 5-0. He trains out of the Next Generation MMA in Liverpool under the guidance of Paul Rimmer. Ste has always loved fighting; it was a part of growing up where he lived. As he got older he started training in Muay Thai as there were no MMA gyms in or around where he lived. From early on Ste planned to become a professional MMA fighter and he saw Muay Thai as a better starting point than boxing. As soon as a MMA gym opened up near him Ste got involved and started to learn the grappling side of the sport.
Cage Warriors 52 will mark the return to cage for Ste who has not fought in 11 months. The reason for the lay-off was because Dinsdale was a reserve for The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes Series. As a consequence Ste had to sign a voluntary suspension for the length of the show. Once the show concluded he has been ready to fight, but has encountered difficulty in finding opponents.
Not only will Cage Warriors 52 see his return to action it will also be Ste's debut fight on one of Europe's premier MMA promotions. "I'm excited," Ste told MMAMount. "I have wanted a bout on Cage Warriors for so long I just couldn't turn it down. Even with short notice,"
Dinsdale is taking this fight on 2 weeks notice. He is a late replacement to face the experience Bruno Carvalho. "I'm looking forward to fighting Bruno," Ste said. " I like a challenge. I have never been one to ask for easy opponents. Plus, I think a win will more than make up for the year I was out of action."
There is no doubt that a win of Carvalho, especially on two weeks notice, will significantly hence Dinsdales reputation and put him firmly on the UKMMA map. Furthermore, if you speak to those closest to Dinsdale you will soon realise that they are extremely confident that their man will get the job done on March 9th.
Cage Warriors 52 will take place on Saturday 9th March 2013 in London, UK and will be headlined by the Welterweight Title bout between Gael Grimaud and Cathal Pendred.
