Fight camp fuel from inside the ice-boxes of champions. The Louisiana lightweight can indulge a little more since his successful jump to 155lb.
Q. Name the five must-haves in your ice-box?
A. “If I’m in fight camp, it’s easy: blueberries, yogurt, chicken, spinach and eggs.”
Q. What do you gorge on?
A. “Oh, man; I love ice cream sandwiches and pizza, bro. Heck yeah! Forget about it.”
Q. What do you cheat with?
A. “I can eat a little more (since I moved up to lightweight) so I’m pretty happy about that. When I was at 145lb I couldn’t cheat at all. I don’t do pizza on the weekends or anything. I would say peanuts and nuts; stuff like that.”
Q. Do you keep anything other than frozen peas in your freezer?
A. “Shock Doctor ice packs. I can slip them on and ice my elbows, shoulders and knees after training hard.”
Q. What’s your favorite bottled sauce?
“I’m a hot-sauce guy. I like Tabasco. My favorite Louisiana hot sauce is Crystal. It’s hot!”
Q. What dessert do you enjoy?
A. “I’m a fatty man. My favorite thing to eat after a fight is carrot cake and a Newcastle beer. They go together like milk and cookies.”
Q. What’s your signature dish?
A. “I cook a lot actually. Pastas, crawfish; I’ll cook anything. All Louisiana food.”
Q. What’s your favorite meal during fight camp?
A. “I eat a lot of tuna – raw tuna. I throw some sauces on it. Good to go.”
Q. What food do you look forward to most after a fight?
A. “Pizza for sure. Any pizza. There’s no bad pizza.”
Q. Which nationality of food is your favorite?
A. “I’m going to have to go with Mexican food.”
