Aaron Simpson has finally made the transition to a vegan diet after three years of fighting as a vegetarian.

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, the MMA fighter discussed how doing so has benefited his athleticism and also gives input on Arian Foster‘s recent decision to go vegan as well.

“People are coming out and talking smack about (Houston Texans running back) Arian Foster because he’s decided to become vegan. They are saying he’s not going to be the running back he was and he is going to lose muscle mass. That’s just B.S. You can get great plant proteins that are healthier than animal proteins. It’s just a matter of being disciplined about it.”
