“We’re proud to collaborate on a project that unlocks the potential of data-driven performance and personalized nutrition. We will continue to tailor Lumen’s metabolic tech to suit the inspiring goals of UFC athletes and trainers,“ says Daniel Tal Mor, Co-founder and CEO of Lumen.
As the fighters prepare for UFC 264: POIRIER vs. MCGREGOR 3, their training teams will be implementing innovative tech to efficiently fuel athletes transitioning into the weight descent phase. Athletes like current No.1-ranked UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier looking to make weight will be able to see their metabolism shift into burning fat as fuel following intense conditioning and training, allowing them to optimize their training in order to better target body composition.
Said Poirier: “Lumen has changed the way I train for fight week. It provides feedback after training to see if I pushed hard enough to get into burning fat. Lumen also provides nutritional insights to help me eat the right food to perform at my best while also making weight more efficiently.”
Experts at the UFC PI are leading the initiative to optimize health and nutrition with the benefits of metabolic flexibility in mind. As a key factor to achieving these goals, the UFC PI staff will be using Lumen Teams, a professional platform that gives access to athletes’ daily metabolic progress and insights through metrics that focus on metabolic health and fuel selection.
Lumen will provide the metabolic data for UFC athletes to make data-driven decisions about how they fuel their performance in real-time, anywhere.
