Mac Danzig is featured in a new Xbox game that has already sold nearly half a million copies in 2 weeks!

UFC Undisputed features all the action of an Ultimate Fighting match. But you get spared the bruises while you munch on Tofurky Jurky.

“UFC 2009 Undisputed is an explosive fighting game detailing the action, intensity and attitude of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Featuring an authentic and comprehensive UFC atmosphere, including an extensive roster of the best mixed martial arts fighters in the world. – UFC 2009 Undisputed is as real as it gets!”

“I think that’s funny. From personal experience, I eat plenty of stuff with soy and nothing’s happened. I know people who’ve taken testosterone and they’ve gotten gynecomastia from the extra testosterone. So if testosterone can make your body produce more estrogen, then wouldn’t eating something that supposedly raises estrogen levels also raise your testosterone? My body would want to level it out.”

—-Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig, when asked in an interview by Men’s Fitness, “What do you think about the claims that soy protein is estrogenic and will make you grow boobs and cause your balls to fall off?”

Ultimate Fighting Champion Mac Danzig was tired of eating chicken and fish all the time. He wanted to go vegan, but was unsure of how it would affect his performance. So he decided to wait until he finished his athletic career. But an experiment before a Pro Boxing match in 2004 showed he recovered better than he did when eating chicken and fish.  Being the man of reason he is, he continued doing what the data showed was best.

And that’s how it all vegan.

In this video, Mac talks about his diet, his love for Canada (he’s not trying to kiss ass, he assures), and other vegetarian/vegan athletes.

Two months ago, Mac Danzig sat down with XtremeCoutre to chit chat.

He’s proof that vegan men aren’t wimpy, and tough athletes can show their artistic side as he got into photography at the age of 16. The Ultimate Fighter champion has been a strict vegan for about 4 years.

He agreed to do an ad for PETA, although he doesn’t agree completely with how the group goes about promoting vegetarianism.

“A lot of people get mad at Peta. I don’t blame them. I agree with their mission. I believe in animal rights. I think it is a great cause. But I think the way they go about their business is very junior high most time.”

“They toilet paper people’s houses and do these ridiculous protests and it makes people say, “these animal rights guys are nuts”. That ruins it for the whole movement. But there are some really cool people that work for Peta that I met. The problem is Peta has a bad rep and now my name is synonymous with them.”

Looks like he may have angered some of those “animal rights guys are nuts” people already.

“You know how much sh*t people talk on the Internet because there’s anonymity. They get offended as if I’m telling them not to eat meat. I couldn’t care less if they eat meat or not.”
