UFC 109 Relentless–Vegan Fighter Mac Danzig V. Justin Buchholz
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 5th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
The UFC 109 Relentless event will be held at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow and will be broadcast on pay per view.
The Ultimate Fighter 6 winner and veggie athlete Mac Danzig is set to compete against Justin Buchholz.
MMA Junkie recently spoke with Danzig and joked about how he left the limelight and got “fat,” while taking some time off.
“Never mind how you get fat as a vegan (answer: Trader Joe’s vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and soy ice cream); he hadn’t taken off that much time since he got in the game almost nine years ago. “
Getting fat as a vegan sounds like the best way to go, since so many delicious egg-free and dairy-free desserts exist on the shelves today.
Plus, it’s easy to go back to your “lightweight” once you cut the sweets and eat only one tofu tamale instead of seven.
Danzig’s got high hopes for coming out a champion this weekend.
“Am I still good enough to still compete at this level of the sport and still have that fighting spirit? I feel I do,” he said.
“If he beats me fairly, then I feel like I should take a step back from that level of sport. But I’m confident. I truly believe I’m going to win.”
