JRE MMA Show #65 with Corey Anderson

do one boom cory anderson ladies and gentlemen what's up how are you man what's
going on joe
we finally did it finally did it we here and uh got some techno hunting as well
yeah i told you
about that game that game's very addictive isn't it i'm already trying to get
back out to do some
more when it's over so itchy right yeah yeah no it's amazing man that that game's
incredible
how long you been bow hunting for i've been bow hunting since i was 16 or 17
but i've been hunting
my whole life wow what switched you over to bow hunting i'm a high school
teammate actually i used
to go rabbit hunting stuff with a shotgun and i've been shooting the bow since
i was like 12 or 11
just 3d shooting are you ever bow hunting with you can hunt with this like yeah
like we go hunt all
the time so one day before school he picked me up and he went over to my buddy's
house and got up in
the stand he got in the stand i couldn't climb because i didn't know what i was
doing i got stuck
at the bottom of the tree sitting on my bow in my lap so but that was my first
time and after that i just
kept going and every now and then in between practices and whatnot but now when
i got time
between fighting or whatnot i'm all hunting that's it oh i could tell by your
instagram man i follow
your instagram all your you're constantly shooting and hunting and practicing
and it's it gets in
your blood i mean it's just like fighting like i said we're doing techno
hunting i do it so much
just muscle memory like everybody think oh you spend too much time hunting you're
not training
then i go win a fight and like oh that was impressive like i still train two
three times a
day but i get home from the gym and i always have a bowl in my truck i have
three bowls and one is
always in my truck so i pull up pop the doors open grab my speaker and the
target is right there
get like 30 to 60 shots and then go in spend time with the family eat go back
to the gym come go to the
range and shoot indoors when it's dark and i'm always shooting i just enjoy it
wow so is it like a part of
meditation for you do you think a hundred percent coming off the osp fight that
was actually the
first time i hunted in jersey i've been in jersey since 2014 when the show came
out and after osp
fight and all that stuff and everybody told me like don't pay attention you was
winning that fight you
got caught don't let the people get in your head and tell you you're not there
so actually the next
day i went home i went and bought my hunting license and bought a stand and
hunting jersey for the
first time and that helped me i didn't think about it all from november to february
1st i was in
a tree stand every day and i went back to training like full camp whatever
thing in my mind i forgot
all about that osp fight that's what i told my wife i found my balance you know
the thing was
i was always in the gym and that's why the name 25 8 came because cory never at
the time i didn't do
anything else but train you know i would train to go to the gym and train to go
therapy go back to the
gym and train go home run go to the garage at the heavy back go to mark henry's
hip pads and go
train again so like i was telling will on the way here when i first went to ufc
and i said oh cory's
grew he's gotten bigger i've always been a big guy i was 300 pounds one time
but when i got down to 205
i was telling myself i don't want to get heavier than like 210 212. so every
day i had like a goal
i wanted to end the day off no heavier than 212. so if i was like 215 from
eating too much and it's
10 o'clock at night i gotta lace up and go for a run so i was all every morning
i wake up at 210
so that's why i took the fights like jan blocker was on two three weeks notice
500 mile an hour in brazil on a week notice because i didn't have to cut weight
it was like okay
just go but when i got to jimmy manuel and he told me at the bar he's like bro
you're a good fighter
you're just too small like i weighed in friday and saturday i stepped in the
cage looking at his ex
saying i gained like six pounds and he told me you got to eat you got to feed
yourself and after i did
that that was probably the best advice i ever got from a fighter because now i
walk around like 235 and i feel
great like the last fight with glover on two weeks notice i was 236 i got the
weight off and hydrated
right back up and felt fine fantastic went out there and did my thing because i
treat my body right now
so you're 236 up until like how far out of the fight i'll try to stay at least
230 230 231 until like
two weeks out and i start tapering on like 225 area and just get 20 pounds of
water off a lot of water
drinking the water load and then tuesday is the first day i hit it hard and
just start trimming
down so you feel like that extra pounds helps you in what way it's recovery
that's for getting rocked
as well like that was the thing in college my coach was always trained and
wrestling we're going to go
a whole practice nobody go get a water if i see anybody go to the water
fountain we're doing sprints
whatever that means you're weak you know it was great because we trained and in
the mat you see guys
gassing for water in third period we all standing tall ready to go and i had
that same mentality when
it came to fighting because you got to think now we're taking blows to the head
so i got to keep
water keep that brain hydrated because if i'm dehydrated that one shot it's
lights out you don't have
anything to help take it so it's like like i said after osp fighting the
hunting everything i just went
back and did a lot of figuring things out before that pat cummins fight and i
just knew what i had
to do to be the best me and uh like i said getting bigger stronger not worrying
about keeping my weight
low the weight gonna come off it's gonna be hard sometimes but it's gonna come
off you know but
that's when i will not miss weight if i gotta kill myself i'm end up in the
hospital before i miss
weight so putting all that together and i feel like i have the recipe so the
recipe was um did you start
weightlifting like what did you do to pack on the extra weight yeah um weightlifting
was a big thing big
key to my brother first before i had to strengthen conditioning coaches that
was on board my coach before
it was great for cardio same guy frank yeager had and we had cardio and we were
getting strong but
it wasn't like size building strong it was like mobility strength to punch and
keep the cardio up
then my brother he had a contract to play pro ball back in what like 2000 or
whatever so he knew like
all the combine lifts or whatever he hit me up and said bro we got to get
bigger like we got it you you're
dominant like you look at these guys you fight they say you're gonna lose you
go out there and you
dominate and you're small so imagine if you put the size on you got the power
you you can dominate these
guys for real so he flew out like i fly off for a week you put me on the right
diet and
how y'all lifted in nfl camps or whatnot and we get stronger so you literally
had me on compound lifts
every day eating like i said i got the freezer full of deer meat like you got
all the stuff you need
you got protein right here have jenny go grab my wife go grab rice and potatoes
and you just eat meat
potatoes rice you eat eggs with meat potatoes and rice everything you eat put
meat potatoes and rice
and everything and you're going to get that side i promise you and the strength
and everything will come
and sure enough i just saw it i went from like after this was after the jimmy
fight he showed up
and it worked out as well i met my uh supplement sponsor but we went out to the
buffet like all right
we had a good workout we're gonna eat the buffet eat as much we carve up and
actually i was there
a pile of nutrition the owner of my supplement company he was like you're corey
anderson right
like i'm a huge fan i would love to work with you my brother that's made it
happen protein right there
get a bottle of protein from him we're gonna start mixing this in with your
meat potatoes or rice protein shake
instantly and he just put me on a whole plan and when he left he left me a
whole little list on the
refrigerator and i still got it there and i don't need it anymore but that's
the thing you eat your
meat potatoes and rice four or five eggs in the morning just got a cup of rice
put some venison or
hog whatever meat i'm using that day and then put some vegetables and a little
bit of potatoes or something
get a big old meal carve it up then go hit the gym then when you're done kill
your protein shake come
on meat potatoes rice how much difference is your diet doing this than it was
before i mean it's
crazy that's my teammates now and they say we've seen the difference of how big
you got even mark
henry i was in midst the other day for the first time with him and probably
like a couple weeks
whatever in his basement and i was still moving fast and everything like bro
you got huge like
i was like i just started lifting the e coach yeah you know so i used to so you're
probably holding
yourself back before oh yeah 100 and then probably draining yourself too much
but all that weight
cutting and all that uh you know like getting it down before the actual fight
itself all the extra
running and everything like even on the show like we were finished eating and
this is when i found out
you can cut weight in the hot tub i didn't know this because i fall heavyweight
before the ultimate
fighter the guy's like oh you can lose weight in the hot tub i was like what
and everybody was sitting
in the hot tub like 40 50 minutes and i get out i lost all my weight i'm at 206.
oh this is great so
we eat a bunch like even one day frankie and the coaches brought in and out
burgers over you know
we ate and watched the fights and i just had this hot tub like 40 minutes and
got all the weight off
down to 210. like i'm where i want to be they're like bro you can get up so i'm
like nah because we
fight we never know when we're gonna fight he wins tomorrow on tuesday i might
be fighting thursday
i don't want to have to worry about that i was always scared of the weight cut
right but if you're
getting in the sauna and or getting in the hot tub losing all that weight that's
just water weight
though right like even if you're down like where you want to be you're still
going to have to cut
more water yeah to get to where you need to be to 205. yeah but you ask my wife
i have the worst
not now but before i didn't know anything about nutrition because i was a heavyweight
from freshman
year in high school my senior year in college and i fought heavyweight until
the ultimate fighter
so i never had to worry about the diet you know i used to eat ramen noodles i
remember moving in my
first time fighting been asked and took me up to rufus sport and i moved in the
fighter house and
everybody eating like chicken fillets and salmon i came in with a big old box
of ramen and thing of
chunky noodle soup like what are you doing like this is this how i eat like bro
that's not gonna work
what do you mean like i train every day i eat this same stuff eat a bowl of
cereal for breakfast and
they all cooking like yo that's that's not healthy like it works for me but
then when it came time to
go to 205 the first time it's like this this isn't working for me i have to
figure something out what do
you feel the difference between like eating nonsense like ramen and then eating
healthy food like what
was the big shift you just have more energy really right you know because i'm
wrestling that's how we
ate you know definitely in college you ain't got no money we go to walmart on
saturday sunday get a
big old box of ramen i used to get spaghetti sauce and just cook news and put
spaghetti sauce on you know
yeah can of soup right out the can you're eating stuff like that but you're
training all day so it
doesn't really get the stick in your body and you don't really feel the the
difference in energy
