The article highlights a rising fight team in Minnesota, led by UFC heavyweight Thomas Peterson. The team, including Alvin Hines and Steven Asplund, is making waves in the regional MMA scene with their rigorous training methods. Following a challenging UFC debut for Peterson, the team adopted a more intense training regimen, treating every session as if it were an actual fight. This approach has translated into success for the fighters, showcasing how leadership and commitment to relentless training can enhance performance and results in competitive settings.
"I know people are like 'oh, I train hard', but we do, man. And we're all heavyweights. We're not throwing around those little bodies. We train like a real fight every day - every damn day."
"Tommy came back with a different mindset and he was like, look, man, we got to kick up the intensity and we got to treat this shit like a fight every day."
"I feel like Tommy's leading the charge. He's an exemplar. I mean the guy's about to break top 15 in the next f*cking two weeks and just being able to share the room with him, let alone be friends with him."
