The real problem
The cut shouldn't cost you the fight.
You train your tank off in camp — then crash-diet the last week, gut a brutal water cut, and step in flat, weak, and gassed by round three. Generic diet advice doesn't know what a weigh-in is. Sound familiar?
No gas tank
Chronically under-fueled around two-a-days, so your cardio dies mid-rounds and your power fades when it counts.
No refuel plan
You make weight, then have no real protocol to rehydrate and refuel before you compete — so all that effort leaves you drained.
All-or-nothing eating
Perfect for a week, then a total blowout. The cycle never breaks because the plan was never built to survive a bad day.
Guessing on macros
No real handle on protein and carbs, so you lose muscle on the cut and recover slower between hard sessions.
Coaches who don't get it
Most "meal plans" ignore weight classes, fight week, and weigh-in timing entirely. You need someone who speaks fighter.
What the research says about the cut
- 39% of MMA fighters are still seriously dehydrated right before they fight*
- 4.4% avg. body mass cut in the 24h before weigh‑in*
*From peer-reviewed research on rapid weight loss in combat sports. The takeaway: how you cut decides how you perform.
Who this is for
Built for fighters. Open to everyone who trains like one.
Combat athletes
MMA, boxing, BJJ, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling. You compete — or you're chasing your first fight — and you're done letting the cut wreck your performance.
- Make weight with a controlled, planned descent
- Rehydrate and refuel so you're strong at weigh-in and on fight night
- Keep power-to-weight — lean out without losing your strength
- Fuel two-a-days and recover faster between sessions
Train like a fighter
No fight on the calendar — just a demanding schedule and high standards. You lift, run, or hit class hard and want to look and feel like an athlete again.
- Steady, all-day energy — kill the 3pm crash for good
- A system that survives chaotic weeks, not just perfect ones
- Get real body-composition results from training you already do
- Build habits that hold without it becoming a second job
Same principles, dialed to your goal: a fighter's nutrition is just the most demanding version of what any serious trainee needs — energy on demand, body composition, fast recovery, and consistency under pressure.
How it works
The Masaway Method
No crash diets, no rigid meal plans you'll abandon by Friday. A clear, four-stage system that turns your nutrition into a weapon — and keeps it there.
-
01
Assess
We map your walking weight, weight class, training load, and real schedule — so the plan fits your life and your camp, not a textbook.
-
02
Fuel
Build the gas tank: a protein floor to protect muscle, carbs timed around sessions, and hydration dialed — so you train hard and recover faster.
-
03
Cut
A controlled, gradual weight descent into fight week plus a step-by-step rehydration and refuel protocol — make weight and step in strong.
-
04
Sustain
Lock in the 80–90% consistency model with a "worst-day plan," so progress holds between fights and good habits outlast motivation.
Your coach
Hi, I'm Airon Masaway.
I coach nutrition the way a good corner works a fight: in your ear with the right call at the right moment — not a generic plan handed over and forgotten.
I'm Precision Nutrition Level 1 certified, which means my coaching is built on evidence and behavior change, not fads or crash diets. My focus is the part most coaches gloss over: cutting weight without gutting your performance, and fueling hard training so you actually recover.
Here's the honest part: Masaway Nutrition is new, and I'm opening a small founding group of athletes I can pour everything into. That means more of my attention, a lower founding rate, and a coach who's genuinely invested in your results. Newness isn't a weakness here — it's the reason you'll get coaching most people pay a premium for.

Straight answers
Questions you're probably asking
You're a new coach — why should I trust you?
Fair question. I'm not asking you to take my word for it — start with the free guide and judge the quality of the thinking for yourself. My coaching is grounded in the Precision Nutrition Level 1 method and current combat-sports nutrition research, and because I'm building my practice, you get more attention than you'd get from a coach juggling a full roster.
Do you actually understand my sport and weight class?
Yes. The plan is built around your division, walking weight, weigh-in timing, and training schedule — whether that's MMA, boxing, BJJ, Muay Thai, kickboxing, or wrestling. Fight week is planned, not improvised.
Will I lose strength if I cut weight?
That's exactly what we work to prevent. The approach is a protein-first, gradual descent that protects muscle and power-to-weight, paired with a proper refuel — so you make weight and stay strong at your class, not just lighter.
Is weight cutting even safe?
Crash cutting is risky — that's the whole point. I coach controlled, gradual weight management and evidence-based rehydration to keep you out of the danger zone. If a cut isn't safe for your timeline, I'll tell you straight.
I've tried diets and they never stick. How is this different?
Because we don't chase perfection. The system runs on 80–90% consistency with a built-in "worst-day plan" for when training, camp, or work blows up your schedule. Habits that survive bad days are the ones that actually change your body.
I'm not a competitive fighter — is this for me?
Absolutely. If you train hard and want fighter-grade energy, body composition, and recovery on a real-world schedule, the same principles apply — just dialed to your goals instead of a weigh-in.
What do I get for my email — and how often will you contact me?
You'll be first in line for the Fight-Week Fuel Guide, plus around one genuinely useful email a week on fueling, cutting, and recovery. No spam, no selling your data, and unsubscribe in one click anytime.
