Eugene is a freestyle fighter, using various styles of martial art – whatever is necessary to defeat the opponent. In an interview with www.onthemat.com, when asked what style has influenced him most, Eugene replies, “I would have to say Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You HAVE to respect it. You can kick and punch, but to do well on the mat, you have to have some skill.” As for his training regimen that allows him to remain a fierce competitor in his 40s, Eugene includes intensive core training, which keeps his explosive energy and movement in top form.
