For those not familiar with this CrossFit Benchmark, Fight Gone Bad got its name from professional mixed martial artist, B.J. Penn. Penn had asked CrossFit founder, Greg Glassman, for a workout that would mimic a bout in the Octagon. After completing the workout, Glassman asked Penn how it compared. Penn’s reply? It was like a “fight gone bad.” Best strategy is don’t go all out in those first few minutes, but keep a steady, yet fast pace through each minute.
