Vegetarian Star

Jake Shields may break the rules by being one of the few beginners to get a chance at the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s welterweight title next year. The former Strikeforce Middleweight champion is expected to face off with Martin Kampmann in UFC 121 next week, making it his debut UFC fight. If he wins on October 23rd, he’ll probably face the winner of the Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck battle.

He’s still knocking over his competitors without meat, as he explained to USA Today in an interview.

“I feel really healthy and really clean this way,” Shields said.

“I’m not a preachy kind person, but. … if you watch videos of all those slaughterhouses and the way everything’s raised, to me that’s just gross. It’s not something I want to be a part of.”

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.

From the website:

“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!”

Mac Danzig, who won The Ultimate Fighter Season 6,  keeps it real by following a vegan diet,  having a weakness for soy ice cream and vegan cookies.

We know it’s been awhile since you had food voyeurism. Thankfully, we found some to break the dry spell.

Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig is one super cool vegan athlete proving you don’t need meat to beat the crap out of your opponent. And here’s how he does it.

He’s a big fan of brown rice, portobello mushrooms, and tempeh, as well as quinoa, black beans, and lentils. Although not that into fake meats, Gardenburger “Riblets,” do bring him to his knees.

And what does an Ultimate Fighting Champion and a evening with your girlfriends have in common? Both like to get drunk off sweets.

“I eat a ton of soy ice cream and vegan cookies when I’m not dieting,” Danzig said. “This is my weakness, but my metabolism burns most of it off.” Good thing, otherwise, it would go straight to his thighs. Sigh…

Example of what he might eat during intensive training weeks when he’s really counting calories:

“Salad w/ baby greens, artichoke, olives, mushrooms, high-protein grilled tofu and light goddess dressing. Fresh strawberries and grapes for dessert.”

Of course, this is just a tease. For the full monty, you’ll have to go elsewhere. We just don’t do those kinds of shows here.
