Ray J<\/a> is learning from the best as he prepares for his upcoming MMA fight against\u00a0Supa Hot Fire … because we have video of him training with MMA icons Chuck Liddell<\/a> and Rampage Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The Iceman” — with an impressive 21-9 record — got to teach the singer a thing or two about what he’ll be in for inside the ring. They swapped the octagon for a dining room, but no worries — the training looked just as effective.<\/p>\n

In the fight prep footage, obtained by TMZ, Ray J looks super locked in … working up a sweat and picking the brains of two icons who’ve spent years destroying people professionally.<\/p>\n

Ray J posed for photos with Chuck, the founder of Creators Inc., Andrew Bachman, and Ray’s longtime manager, David Weintraub.<\/p>\n

From the looks of it, Ray knows this thing is starting to get real! Rampage took things to the mat, and the MMA legend schooled the R&B singer through grappling techniques and defensive positioning … clearly trying to make sure the entertainer doesn\u2019t get embarrassed once fight night arrives.<\/p>\n

Ray joined us on TMZ Live earlier today to talk about the training and the upcoming fight. <\/p>\n

Ray and Supa Hot are doing battle in an MMA event that also features a showdown between Johnny Manziel<\/a> and Bob Menery … and it’s all being promoted by UFC honcho Dana White<\/a> and streamer Adin Ross<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ray J I’m Ready For MMA Fight!!!
