Its 8 weeks away, my technique is sound but my cardio is questionable. Any tips from the fellow junkies on getting some cardio increases in 8 weeks, mainly my explosiveness sucks, im not all that athletic more mechanical. Its an 8 man tournament and every fight is 1 10 minute round. Unusual I know but hey I don't care, im just doing it for experience.
Game plan, dominic cruz for 4 minutes then Jon fitch for 4 more and then hazelett for 2 .
Thoughts, tips questions?

Finally someone posts about fighting!
8 weeks is plenty of time, I'm actually getting ready for my final ammy fight on 4/23, so I'm right there with you.
Basics for fight ready cardio-
4 miles of running a day, preferably with some wind sprints mixed in to mimic flurry/brawl situations.
Lots of sparring and rolling, you're in a tournament so you want to focus on working TD's from the clinch, leg kicks, and sweeps/getting up. A night of multiple fiights is no place to be fighting from your back, particularly if the rounds are 10 minutes long. I say practive clinch sweeps and throws because you won't have enough energy to keep getting sprawled on as the night progresses.
let me know if you have any specific questions.

I ended up not fighting in this, trained hard but then made the Ireland Pool team so chose that over fighting. Didn't want to get injured and the spot on the Irish team was more of a once in a lifetime chance whereas I can keep training in MMA and fight in the future at my own convenience

UK 8 ball pool, for example. Its harder than American pool in a way because you have less room to manouvre the white ball and the pockets are smaller. However American pool is very hard in the way that the cloth is a lot faster on good tables. Our cue tips are between 6-8mm yours are about 13mm too. Darren Appleton who is huge in the American pool circuit used to be a brilliant UK pool player, so was Chris Melling.
