Mike Dolce is an American strength and conditioning coach, nutrition expert and author, best known for managing weight cuts for UFC fighters. A former mixed martial artist and contestant on The Ultimate Fighter, he has worked with fighters including Ronda Rousey, Johny Hendricks, Thiago Alves and Carlos Condit, and wrote The Dolce Diet books.
Brian Rose has interviewed Dolce twice on London Real, in 2014 and 2016. They talked about his move from fighter to MMA’s best-known diet coach, why he lives the same regime as the athletes he trains, how he picks clients, and his 3 Weeks To Shredded programme.
Both interviews are listed below with a short summary.
Living Lean (February 2014). His first interview, on the philosophy behind his coaching and why he lives it every day. Then watch Live Your Brand (2016) for his work with top fighters.
Short clip: Success Secrets (2016).
Brian Rose’s main impression of Dolce in 2014 was that he lives what he preaches, 24 hours a day. Dolce follows the same diet and training as his clients and, when a fighter has to cut weight before a bout, he cuts with them.
Because he lives with fighters for weeks during a training camp, Dolce said he chooses clients based on their character as much as their talent.
Despite his record, Dolce said he still sees himself as a white belt with a lot left to learn.
His 3 Weeks To Shredded programme, discussed in 2016, draws on years of work with professional athletes to combine diet and training for weight loss and athletic performance.
