The fact that these fighters are doing the same thing as the would being doing without consuming meat and dairy, promoting environment and ethics on the way of their journey, is highly commendable. It takes a lot of work, countless hours of working out, meals prepping (which might get a little repetitive with their highly hectic schedules), cutting out meat and dairy in conjunction with a proper workout regime.

These gems are using very efficient ways of activism and debunking myths whilst standing out with their achievements and reinvesting all their power to make the world a better place.
