Fighters that are vegetarian?

[Ogata]

I remember Mac being vegan back in the day and Diaz bros professed veganism but it is veganism with sea food all while avoiding dairy and eggs.

Curios to know if there are any fighters that follow a meat free diet now a days?

You can't be vegan and eat seafood. That's now how it works. Same as a vegetarian who eats seafood you are not a vegetarian then.

Alex Caceres is vegan.

Alex Caceres is vegan.

No, in his own words he's not completely a vegan. He just avoids processed meat and dairy products.

I agree with you that's why they don't count. But it was worth mentioning from the start because their names are thrown out there as vegans which I disagree.

Diaz are not vegan because they consume sea food. Jake went vegan for a short while but went back to vegetarianism. Anyways what about todays fighters?

It's retarded to do it without the help of a nutritionist while being an athlete.

It did for a while though. Anyway, I don't know if it have ever happened, but if David Haye can maintain this body on a vegan diet, I don't see why there can't be a vegetarian UFC-champ one day.

Interesting never knew they ate seafood, always took there word for it when they said they are vegan. But yeah guessing they realized they needed that extra animal protein.

It is stupid to not have a nutritionist period, if you are a professional athlete.

They started off with raw veganism but through hard training they felt that the recovery was slowed down. So although energy was good with veganism, their recovery was lacking. For that they ended up taking in sea food.

I disagree, Tiger Woods never needed help to make weight

You can easily go vegan and keep mass to some extent. There are tons of natural and industrial proteinsources available.

It's not tasty but high quality protein aswell.

But studies suggest adding fish is healthiest for most ppl.

Do you really need me to explain how he looks like that?
