WHAT TOP FIGHTERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TRAINING WITH ERIC “Your best bet is to get good training and good trainers... You need to have someone who’s actually vested in your improvement... I have my strength and conditioning with Eric and he’s a guy I can count on... You want to improve your individual skills - don’t rush into MMA and doing everything all together, learn all your skills like your jiu-jitsu, boxing, thai boxing, your conditioning, and from there you can step into the game.” Claude “The Prince” Patrick, UFC Welterweight Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“I always say that Eric Wong is my ‘Secret Weapon’. Before I started training with Eric I did some weight training and conditioning and made some gains and felt good… But after I started training with Eric I wasn’t as sore after workouts and could go to boxing and wrestling and perform much better than before. Another thing was I felt stronger than ever – I could grapple, spar and train as long as I wanted and never feel fatigued.” Jeff “The Inferno” Joslin, Former UFC Fighter Hamilton, Ontario, Canada I followed your Ultimate MMA program for my debut MMA fight which I won by KO 49 seconds in the 1st round. I credit your program as the main reason why I was so prepared for my fight. I used to be overweight but I lost 13kg (29 pounds) over 3 months. My cardio, strength and stamina were supreme and everybody at my gym compliments my increased level of fitness. I personally don't know any trainers in my area that could have prepared me as much as your program has and I thank you for creating such an easy program to follow for guys like me who don't have access to professional trainers. Mahu Powell, MMA Fighter Brisbane, Australia

INTRO What’s up? I’m writing this report in my home office while it’s -15° Celsius (5° Fahrenheit for you Yanks) outside. That’s without the wind chill. And it’s not getting any warmer. So given that I’d rather be here inside instead of doing anything that takes me outside, I’ve got a lot of time to put into this report and really lay it all out for you. Truth is, I’d put in 100% effort if it were warm and sunny outside because I’m pumped that you’re interested in discovering what I call CAGE Cardio is all about. Over the course of the next 30 + pages you’re going to encounter some really powerful and never-talked-about methods that you can start using immediately to get in top fight shape. Like, today. If you’re an MMA fighter or combat sport athlete, this is need-to-know info so you never step into the cage, under the bright lights, and gas out, never knowing what could’ve happened had you been in shape. Nothing would be worse than flushing all that hard work – all the blood and sweat you’ve spilled – down the toilet because you didn’t train right. If you don’t fight but still train MMA recreationally, these methods will help you be a better student in your MMA classes because you’ll be able to train at
