Meet Myles 'Splinter' Price, professional MMA athlete currently signed to Bellator and owner of Team Ryano Kilkenny. From fighting under the Bellator lights to going to 'deep dark places', it's all on the table.
Myles Price is a professional MMA athlete, Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt and co-owner/head coach of Team Ryano Kilkenny. Having trained at American Kickboxing Academy in helping Khabib Nurmagomedov prepare for both Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, Price has seen a lot in the past 2 years, never mind the years of competitive experience prior to that. Myles is also currently signed to the Bellator lightweight division on an 18-month. 12 months into the deal and with one fight on the promotion, Myles focus and direction is reverting back to his gym, coaching his MMA team and finding a better work / life / training / competition balance.
In a frank conversation, we explore the ins and outs of the current Bellator situation, discuss coaching mindsets, what it takes to travel and compete at the highest level of an often unforgiving sport, how he plans and adapts training methodologies and roadmaps for his own competitors and more.
