Mixed Martial Artist Eats Frozen Cheeseburgers Before Fight, Kicks Ass

Posted by Nick Solares, May 31, 2008 at 3:00 PM

Jesse Taylor, a mixed martial arts fighter competing on Spike TV's reality show The Ultimate Figher, was shown eating frozen cheeseburgers before a fight on this week's episode (TUF airs on Wednesday evenings on Spike TV). Burger King is the official sponsor of the show so all other branding is obscured, but the small burgers looked suspiciously like White Castle frozen cheeseburgers. While the rest of the competitors ate leafy greens and low-fat protein Taylor is quoted as saying, " I like Oreos and I like cheeseburgers." The other fighters on the show were aghast at his diet, but despite the incredulity of his rivals, Taylor went out and dominated his match, winning on all three of the judges' scorecards.

I must admit thanks to Serious Eats I took the plunge on those White Castle frozen cheeseburgers. Despite everything my brain was telling me about frozen food, those lil guys are indeed tasty!!

I get those when they are on sale, they microwave very well.

Wait, does he eat them frozen? Because that would be REALLY badass.
