The Book

Built in the Room Where Champions Are Made

Fight Ready is Phil Daru's complete blueprint for combat sports performance — the same strength, conditioning, and fight-camp programming Phil has used to prepare UFC champions and contenders for the biggest nights of their careers.

Inside, you'll find periodized training templates, energy-system development for striking and grappling, recovery and load-management protocols, and the fight-camp framework Phil uses to peak athletes on fight night.

  • Full training templates for camp, off-season, and taper
  • Combat-specific strength & conditioning progressions
  • Recovery, nutrition, and load-management guidance
  • Foreword by UFC star Dustin Poirier

Placeholder copy — swap in final book description.

Fight Ready opens with a foreword from UFC star Dustin Poirier, drawn from years training alongside Phil in camp for some of the biggest fights of his career.
