As with many professional fighters the goal is not always to be the strongest man physically, which doesn’t hurt, but to be the strongest man overall. To be the strongest man in a fight requires physical strength, as well as endurance and mental strength. Mental strength is best gained by pushing your body beyond its quitting point which is what Couture’s circuit training routine does.
