Welterweight wrestler Johny Hendricks is a closet junk food addict who orders his burgers by the numbers.
Name the leading five must-haves in your refrigerator?
“I need to have milk, eggs and mayonnaise in there. A cold pizza from Pizza Hut as I can have it the next morning. A cold beer should be there too. It doesn’t mean that I’m going to drink it, but it’s always nice to look in there and see one.”
What food do you cheat with?
“If I cheat, then it has to be something like Braums or Wendy’s. I usually try to cheat with something I don’t usually eat.”
Do you keep anything other than frozen peas in your freezer?
“I keep pizza pockets, deer meat, waffles and a little bit of ice cream. You’ve got to treat yourself every now and then.”
What dessert do you enjoy?
“I just had this thing called Milk and Cookie. It’s a chocolate chip cookie with a really nice sweetener. That’s one of my favorites. Besides that I really love Twix and Snickers.”
What is your signature dish?
“It’s a healthy dish. I cook a really good venison with quinoa, with sliced up onions and peppers, diced up asparagus and brown rice. I love that dish. It’s one of my favorites.”
What meal do you eat after the weigh-in?
“I’ll eat a big bowl of organic pasta. After that I’ll eat a 6oz steak with baked potatoes.”
What food do you look forward to eating most after your fight?
“After my last fight (Jon Fitch) I ate a McDonalds (laughs)!”
What is your least favorite type of food?
“I’m not a big fan of Indian or Russian food. It’s not really that nice to me. I really don’t know what I don’t like, because once I get a favorite, I only eat that type of food.”
Which nationality of food is your favorite?
“I love Japanese, Chinese and Korean food. I absolutely love teriyaki bowls. It’s so hard to find something that they make that isn’t delicious.”
What is your ideal three-meal day?
“For breakfast, I’d have an omelette with ham, bacon, some sour cream, Tabasco sauce, hash browns and a side of biscuits and gravy. Then for lunch, I’d have the venison, brown rice quinoa, asparagus, onions and peppers meal that I was talking about earlier – my speciality. And as for dinner, I’d have pizza. If I’m honest I could have that line-up of food pretty much every day of my life.”
