The exciting UFC bantamweight reveals he’s a closet chocoholic
Name the five must-haves in your ice-box.
“Peanut butter and jelly, waffles, eggs, almond milk, pineapple.”
What do you gorge on?
“Chocolate. Usually yellow bag (peanut) M&M’s.”
What do you cheat with?
“I’m a big pizza guy. Nothing beats a fresh slice.”
Do you keep anything other than frozen peas in your freezer?
“Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, although only when I can have it. I can’t even have it in the house when I’m in fight camp.”
What is your favorite bottled sauce?
“I have ketchup with virtually everything. And I love ranch dressing too... While on my pasta or spaghetti I’ll go with vodka and Alfredo sauce every time.”
What dessert do you enjoy?
“I love chocolate lava cakes. I know, they’re not great for a diet. But you can’t beat that chocolatey sugar rush.”
What is your own signature dish?
“Penne alla vodka con Alfredo and pollo (chicken). It’s a classic Italian recipe.”
What is your favorite meal during fight camp?
“Tilapia (fish) with quinoa, spinach, and a little rice.”
What meal do you eat after the weigh-in?
“I always try to find a nice Italian spot. Usually for pasta.”
What food do you look forward to most after a fight?
“I eat everything that comes within snatching distance... It’s usually pizza. A couple of pizzas in fact!”
Which nationality of food is your favorite?
“Jamaican. I love my mom’s oxtail dish. She does it with brown rice and peas and it’s delicious.”
