Danzig Wins, Hi-Top Brogues & Miami Dolphin’s Ricky Williams

Posted February 8th 2010 at 10:00 am by joshuakatcher

Our favorite vegan tough-guy, Mac Danzig, won his bout against Justin Buchholz on the Feb. 7th, 2010 event, UFC 109 Relentless. Read the full article on UFC.com. Prior to the match, the fighters were asked in a video what their favorite junk-foods were. Danzig said, “Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies and Soy Ice Cream“. I’d have to agree, but I think coconut-cream based ice cream is a bit better…

Miami Dolphins’ running back Ricky Williams has a  Heisman Trophy, a Maxwell Award, and is a Pro Bowl MVP – but he’s also a vegetarian who participated in a faux-chicken wing taste-test for PETA a few days go. Check out the video, but please don’t ask “duh..Ricky, where do you get your protein?”

Ricky is co-owner of a new restaurant, Proof, in Miami that has a lot of vegan options. The winning wings may have been gardein buffalo wings!

    I’d have to say that tempt definitely gives the coconut ice cream a run for it’s money, but both are better than just about any soy ice cream I’ve had.

    Really cool to see lots of pro athletes helping to break down stereotypes surrounding veganism.

    I usually can’t be troubled with men’s shoes, but I LOVE those! Perhaps I’ll buy them to play dress-up with my boyfriend.

    I’m starting to dig hemp-milk ice cream (Tempt is great), but I agree coconut is better than soy.

    Those shoes are nice – affordable too (even with the extra shipping charges).

    How cool that Mac Danzig is vegan! Somebody should turn him on to Purely Decadent coconut milk ice cream, though. I agree with you. I think it’s amazing.
