Recover faster or lose weight by tricking your body into freezing
I’ve never been very good in the cold, so the idea of stepping semi-naked into a chamber and taking the body to -200 degrees Celsius was not very appealing initially. However, it wasn’t as scary or or bad as you might have thought. This process is called whole body cryotherapy and it is based on […]
[Photoshoot] Brad Robinson
His debut in the ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC) may not have gone the way he planned, but I’m sure there is a lot more to Brad Robinson that we have not seen in the cage. It was a very close fight against Nik Harris, but the judges ruled it in Nik’s way via split […]

One FC fighter Brad Robinson loses over 60kg for MMA
Nobody likes to be fat and nobody likes to be told that they are fat either. After he moved to Singapore in 2007, Brad Robinson hit his heaviest weight ever – he was a hefty 1.83-metre-tall 150kg American high-ranking managing partner in the corporate world. His waistline was 54 inches and he needed tailor-made pants for that. Blame the […]

Till now, there has been no official word on what really happened with Sherilyn Lim’s failure to make weight at the ONE FC: War of Nations in Kuala Lumpur, or why Ann Osman did not want to fight at catchweight. Whatever it is, each of them had their reasons and it’s over now anyway. Former […]
