Mike Dolce joins host Gareth A. Davies on this week’s UFC World Podcast. Dolce discusses his extraordinary childhood, growing up as the son of a thoroughbred horse breeder, revealing why and how he increased his body weight to 280lbs+ as a powerlifter, before realising he was en route to killing himself. Dolce expounds his theories on which weight classes Frank Mir, John Lineker, and even Dana White, would be at their optimum performance level.

Renowned UFC coach Mike Dolce recently visited undefeated middleweight Luke Barnatt to see his preparations for his March 8th battle with Mats Nilsson at the O2 Arena in London.
And the American, who has worked with Thiago Alves and Michael Bisping among others, aims to add more muscle to Barnatt as he fights his way towards UFC gold.
“Because Luke has a large frame there’s a lot of muscle to work with, so we could definitely add another 20 pounds over time for him to win numerous world titles,” said Dolce.
“I think he’s already a top 10 middleweight – his level changes are great and his armbars from the top or bottom are also very good.”
Discussing Barnatt’s current diet, he added: “I believe nutrition is everything – especially in a young athlete like Luke.”
Barnatt, 25, brings a lot of momentum to the O2 show after disposing of American Andrew Craig last October with a rear-naked-choke.
Meanwhile, Dolce’s experience in planning diets for the likes of rejuvenated Vitor Belfort, 36, convinced UFC bosses to ask him to develop their UFC Fit training and nutrition programme.
Launching in the UK on March 1st, available exclusively at Gymbox centres, the course has four three-week segments and focuses on strength, conditioning, flexibility and endurance.
“With UFC Fit we’re promoting a healthy lifestyle so you can spread your life, enjoy your work and embrace your family for longer. There’s science that says we can live up to 120-years-old but unfortunately we make mistakes that take our latter years away.”
And while the former 5-10 welterweight has worked with some of the biggest names in the game, his most popular beneficiary is Oregon motormouth Chael Sonnen, who Dolce met back in 2004 at Team Quest.
Dolce revealed he and Sonnen are “like brothers” and that the 36-year-old, surprisingly enough, “turns the filters on” while shouting down his opponents on camera.
Next up for Sonnen is a simmering grudge match in May against Brazilian, Wanderlei Silva, who the self-proclaimed American Gangster is currently coaching against on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.
Dolce admitted: “I absolutely fear for Chael being over in Brazil. Every day he spends there is a danger and although I love Brazil and their people, the Brazilian public certainly do not love Chael Sonnen.”
With reports of a ruckus breaking out during filming, he added: “I know Wanderlei is 100 per cent wound-up by Chael. But Wanderlei’s problem is that he’s become emotionally involved in something which he needs to approach in an analytical manner. By reacting to Chael’s taunts he’s giving him exactly what he wants – and that’s incredibly dangerous once you step into the cage.”
