Now he's officially pat of a cult if true.
I'm betting on Sonnen now.
Why?
Cabo Diaz beat Conor while being a vegetarian.
Any reputable strength training coach will say being a vegan does not work. You can cite one or two fighters who have had some success. For the majority of competitive athletes it does not work. Is Fedor going to have pitter patter punches like Nick Diaz now?
First of all Fedor isnt vegan, he is vegetarian.
Second of all there are athletes in the NBA, NFL, and Soccer who are vegetarian and still perform at the highest level. Should I name drop?
Thirdly there are animals who are insanely powerful and strong and fast who are strictly plant eaters.
I'm not even a vegetarian myself but its hilarious to see how many pussies get so intimidated when they hear that someone is equally strong on a vegetarian diet.
Who's intimated? Better yet, why would anyone be intimidated, lol? Re-read what I wrote. I said the majority of strength coaches say it won't work. You can call me names if you like but it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't work for most athletes, otherwise they would mostly be doing it wouldn't they?
I fought an mma fight as a vegetarian and was able to win against a man 25lb bigger.
The majority of strenght coaches are meatheads who know nothing about nutrition (hell, most doctors know next to nothing about nutrition, less than 20 percent of medical schools have a single required course in nutrition, imagine strenght coaches..). Like the baldie here in this video who flat out told the guy it was impossible to do an iron man on a vegan diet, and of course the guy went and completed it.
A strongman like Baboumian became stronger when he went from vegetarian to vegan improving his records, and as another dude wrote in the comments ''Kendrick Farris is the only American to make the olympics this year for weightlifting and he is a vegan''.
There is nothing magical in meat that gives you more strenght, everything that's in meat you can get elsewhere.
