Jabs and Jams #5: Music Fighters Train To
MMA fighters are always going full bore with arduous training. Motivation can fluctuate on a day-to-day basis but music is a sure-fire means to conjure up those feelings. The fuel to push through those last few reps, that last 100 meters of your run, or that last sparring session of the day. These euphoric feelings can come from genres of all types and fighters sure train to some eclectic tunes. This is Jabs and Jams: Music Fighters Train To.

Jesse Arnett
“Gucci’s alright. I like him (Gucci Mane) back in the day. He’s different now but he’s ok…..I don’t discriminate on anything. I’ll listen to everything from classical music to gangster rap to metal. I don’t know if you know about Danny; The Dudes or the High Kicks. Danny Vacon, he’s a local guy here (Calgary). He’s my friend. You should look him up. I’ll send you a couple of his videos on Youtube online here and I guarantee you’ll like him.”

“Anything that’s good and groovy. I like any kind of music to be honest. I’ll listen to literally every single kind. I’ll go from Slipknot to Taylor Swift. I don’t care. I like a lot of the dance/ electronic music…Anything with a good beat. I like Alan Walker….I’m on the road a lot so I’m listening to music like hours and hours of the day. That’s also something I could not live without.”
TJ Laramie
“When I’m running and stuff, I listen to a lot of different music. I listen to Eminem, Tupac, DMX, Kendrick Lamar….I listen to The Game. The Game has pretty good songs to train to. I don’t really listen to some of the new shit like Lil Pump and all that. I don’t really vibe with that to that kind of music.”
