The Science Behind Fight Fuel Pre-Workout: Engineered for Combat Sports Performance

combat transcendence with bone labs fight fuel pre-workout

In combat sports, your body and mind are the weapons — and they only perform at their peak when fueled right. Fight Fuel Pre-Workout was engineered specifically for fighters, not gym lifters. Every ingredient is backed by science to power MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Karate athletes through the demands of training and competition.

This isn’t about buzzword ingredients or empty promises — it’s about performance you can feel and research you can trust.


Why You Need a Pre-Workout Specifically Formulated for Combat Sports

A pre-workout for fighters needs to cover a lot more bases than a traditional pre-workout. Whereas most pre-workouts are focused on providing blistering amounts of caffeine for short burst of energy, our focus is to sustain power, endurance, hydration and focus over longer periods of time. 

Most pre-workouts rely on massive doses of caffeine to create short bursts of energy — great for weightlifting, but not for fighters. There's little focus on keeping the mind sharp while providing the energy boost needed for performance. 

Combat athletes need sustained power, endurance, hydration, and focus over long, grueling sessions. Whether you’re in MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, or Karate, your body faces unique demands that standard formulas can’t meet.

That’s why Fight Fuel Pre-Workout was engineered for the full fight — to deliver smooth, lasting energy, sharper focus, and optimized hydration from warmup to final round.

Energy & Focus Complex

Caffeine Anhydrous, Infinergy™ Dicaffeine Malate, Natural Caffeine (Terracaf)

Explosive power, reaction time, and endurance start with energy. The triple-caffeine system in our pre-workout delivers quick activation, smooth sustain, and a controlled taper — ideal for long sparring sessions and multi-round fights. Caffeine has been shown to improve endurance by 2–4 % and sharpen mental alertness — a measurable edge in striking accuracy and defensive timing. Study: Caffeine and Exercise Performance – ISSN

L-Tyrosine & L-Theanine

Fight IQ isn’t just physical; it’s cognitive. L-Tyrosine supports neurotransmitters that maintain focus and decision-making under stress, while L-Theanine promotes calm concentration and reduces caffeine jitters.
Together they help fighters stay composed in high-pressure exchanges.

Performance Matrix

Beta-Alanine

Fatigue ends more fights than technique. Beta-Alanine increases muscle carnosine, buffering acid buildup during explosive combinations and scrambles so you can keep throwing with power deep into the round.

L-Citrulline

A proven nitric-oxide booster, L-Citrulline increases blood flow and oxygen delivery, supporting faster recovery between rounds and greater endurance during sustained offense.

Betaine Anhydrous

Sourced from beets, Betaine enhances cellular hydration and ATP regeneration. It supports peak power output during takedowns, clinch work, and explosive transitions.

Hydration & Electrolyte Blend

Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Malate, Zinc

Dehydration drains speed and endurance. This advanced electrolyte profile replenishes what fighters lose through sweat during pad work, rolling, or heavy bag rounds. We pack our pre-workout with more electrolytes than most endurance based supplements. 


Focus & Resilience

Rhodiola Rosea Extract

Fight camps push both body and mind. Rhodiola Rosea is a clinically proven adaptogen that reduces fatigue, sustains focus, and supports endurance under intense stress — helping athletes maintain sharpness from the first bell to the final round.

Recovery & Support

Taurine & Vitamin B12

Recovery determines longevity in combat sports. Taurine enhances cellular hydration and reduces oxidative stress, while Vitamin B12 supports oxygen transport and red-blood-cell production for faster recovery between sessions.
