The Fighters Program at Evolve MMA is strictly reserved for the professional fighters on the Evolve Fight Team. Led by Kru Chatri Sityodtong and Professor Rafael Gordinho, the Evolve Fight Team is Asia's most decorated professional fighting team with World Champions in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, and No-Gi Grappling. Our fighters have competed and won at the highest levels in the world at top events such as the UFC, Sengoku FC, Art of War FC, Martial Combat FC, Fury FC, Mundials BJJ World Championship, Lumpinee Stadium World Championship, and many other top events.
MISSION
The mission of the professional Evolve Fight Team is to win world championship titles.
Every member of the Evolve Fight Team has been handpicked after an extensive try-out and interview process. We have fighters from all backgrounds and from all over the world. Some of our fighters joined Evolve after they became renowned world champions in one discipline. On the other side of the spectrum, we also have fighters that had zero martial arts experience. The Evolve Fight Team selects its fighters based on the criteria of athletic potential, gameness, technical prowess, coachability, world championship potential, and other critical variables.
FIGHTERS TRAINING PROGRAM
Our professional fighters train 4-6 hours per day as a part of their normal daily routine. There are two mandatory training sessions per day ("Fighters Program"): our morning session (9am to 11am) and our afternoon session (2pm to 4pm). Attendance is mandatory for all professional fighters on the Evolve Fight Team. Our training sessions consist of roadwork, advanced technical training, hard training/pad work/dummy work, reflex drills, and striking/ground/MMA sparring. The Evolve Fight Team curriculum consists of Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Wrestling, and MMA. Additionally, our fighters are expected to complete their own customized strength and conditioning programs (designed by the Director of Strength and Conditioning at Evolve MMA) outside of the training sessions and to work on their weak areas by attending our regular advanced classes.
NUTRITION MANAGEMENT
Evolve MMA offers a Nutrition Management Program for all members of the Evolve Fight Team. Our Director of Strength and Conditioning is Asia's top expert and offers excellent, customized programs and guidance for each of our fighters.
CAREER MANAGEMENT
Evolve MMA manages the careers of all members of the Evolve Fight Team in terms of their professional fight careers, sponsorships, publicity work, and speaking engagements. Evolve has established a global network of contacts such that our fighters are able to compete anywhere in the world (provided that their qualifications and abilities are appropriate for a given event).
