Watch A.J. McKee and ‘Baby Slice’ punch each other’s stomach as hard as they can (damn)

Listen, I’m not gonna pretend to know what are the most effective ways to train MMA. All I know is that when I see A.J. McKee and Kevin Ferguson Jr. punching each other in the stomach as hard as they can, my natural reaction is to ask: “Is that really necessary?”

The Bellator Twitter account calls this “Strength & Conditioning.” Me? I call it crazy and painful. Take a look:

Man, I can’t breathe just watching this and sure as hell don’t blame “Baby Slice” for bowing out the way he did.

I guess this is just how they do things at Team Bodyshop. And hey, whatever works. McKee hasn’t gone a Bellator record 14-0 by taking it easy in practice.
