“Eggs, milk, soda, a freezer full of meat and a freezer full of ice cream.”
What food do you like to pig out on?
“Me and the boys come over and we eat loads of hot, spicy cheese!”
What’s your cheat meal?
“I don’t really have a strict diet so as long as I’m training three times a day I can pretty much eat whatever I want.”
Do you keep anything interesting in your freezer?
“I gotta keep ice packs in there ‘cos I’m always getting injuries [laughs].”
What’s your favorite bottled sauce?

What’s your signature dish?

What’s your favorite meal during fight camp?
“I don’t think I have one. I eat whatever I want so I don’t really crave anything.”
What do you eat after the weigh-in?
“We’ll go out for pasta and chicken but I don’t have red meat until after the fight’s done.”
What food do you look forward to after the fight?
