Ian Machado Garry: ‘If I Didn’t Go Vegan, I Wouldn’t Be In The Position I Am Right Now’

Ian Machado Garry, also known as “The Future,” credits his success as a mixed martial artist to his vegan diet. The UFC fighter has won 17 out of 19 professional MMA fights and believes that switching to a plant-based diet improved his performance and recovery. Machado Garry struggled with bugs and infections while cutting weight for fights, which led him to adopt a fully vegan diet to boost his immune system and overall health.

In a recent PETA campaign video, Machado Garry expressed that being plant-based has taken his strength and performance to another level. He believes that veganism is not only beneficial for athletes but is also a fight for a more just world. Other athletes, like MMA fighter Ahmed Labban, have also praised the benefits of a plant-based diet for energy levels, performance, and recovery.
