Video: Nick and Nate Diaz discuss how vegan diet helps their conditioning

Stockton brothers Nick and Nate Diaz are two of the most well-conditioned athletes in MMA, with both fighters regularly competing in triathlons and ironman contests.

The fan favorites are known for their endurance and seemingly unlimited cardio, often breaking their opponents due to their unrelenting pressure in the Octagon.

Speaking to celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain on the latest series of Parts Unknown, the Diaz bros talked about how their mainly vegan diet helps with their conditioning and fight preparation.

"I was vegan for years... and I've been a vegetarian since I was 18 years old," Nick told Bourdain (h/t Brandon Friederich of MAXIM).
