Heavyweight Fabricio Werdum will make his return to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 143 where he’ll face Roy Nelson. Since originally parting ways with the organization the talented Brazilian has looked sharp, particularly in the case of submitting Fedor Emelianenko in 2010 when Emelianenko was seen as relatively unbeatable.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, Werdum will walk viewers through the Triangle-Armbar combination he used against Emelianenko so that they too can add the hold to their arsenal of moves.

UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck may get a bad reputation based on his at-times overwhelmingly cocky attitude but at the end of the day he’s still one helluva competitor no matter where a bout’s action takes place. A talented grappler with power in his hands as well, Koscheck will take his wares into the Octagon this weekend against Mike Pierce at UFC 143: Condit vs. Diaz.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, the American Kickboxing Academy staple demonstrates one of his favorite arm-chokes while breaking down the finer points of the hold for viewers.

Yes, you read the headline correctly. While known primarily for his ability to take opponents down and control them from the top, it turns out Chael Sonnen knows a thing or two about striking – skills he’ll no doubt need to employ tomorrow night against Michael Bisping at UFC on FOX 2.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, Sonnen shows he is not a one-dimensional grappler by explaining a slick combination involving a Hook Kick and Spinning Backfist. Considering he’s the only man to have dropped 185-pound champion Anderson Silva with a strike in recent history, chances are he’s worth listening to…

It wasn’t too long ago UFC middleweight Mark Munoz was set to compete this weekend in hopes of earning a shot at the divisional title. However, after injuring his elbow last week “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” has been sidelined and out of action for a few months while Michael Bisping gets the crack at Chael Sonnen he’d originally been scheduled for.
On his road back to full recovery Munoz will absolutely be working on strengthening his upper body, some of which will likely involve this MMATraining Technique of the Day focused on building strength through resistance. It’s easy to do and effective. What’s not to like?
