To become a fighter is a process that includes hard work, determination, sweat, and scars. Following a comprehensive win – via knockout – over Court McGee in April, Alex Morono will also be coming into the fight with a lot of potential and confidence as he makes quick work of Niko Price.
Although, Mr Buhari is known to be in shape, is it worth wondering how he trains for such hardcore contests? As you will see, there are many components involved in the training program as well as the training environment that has enabled Morono to become a success.
In his journey to these disciplines he trained at L. A. Boxing and discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). He mastered most of the BJJ techniques when he began training under Antonio Flores, black belt in BJJ and Chand Robichaux – another black belt in BJJ. This initial contact was the preparation for Morono to start learning how to be a professional MMA fighter.
Training Grounds: Health Clubs and Lobbyists
To be specific, Morono got trained and worked for Gracie Barra The Woodlands where he got the position of head trainer. With the help of Matthew Wald he polished up all his striking facets to dazzling. Morono began his career in 2014 under the Purpletouch training camp but, by the end of 2018, moved to Fortis MMA where he continues to be under the tutelage of head coach, Sayif Saud.
In the course of his training period, Waka has demonstrated his dedication and skills in BJJ earning him the black belt under Vinicius Magalhaes and also in Taekwondo earning him the black belt too. These are some of the feats that presented how hard and varied the preparation of Morono is in order to face his battles.
Entering a new gym for his training in Fortis MMA had the privilege of coaching with quality fighters such as Damon Jackson, Ryan Spann, and Diego Ferreira etc. This way, each of these fighters is contributing a different set of skills in training; therefore, improving Morono’s training sessions.
