Matt Brown is one of the top Welterweights in mixed martial arts. He has fought and beaten some of the biggest names in his division.
But after suffering pretty severe concussions, in his last two fights, he decided he needed to put his long-term health first. So he did some research, and he discovered the ketogenic diet.
Because of the neuro-protective properties, and the benefits of easier weight cuts, Matt has enjoyed the process as he has been preparing for a primetime fight against another top Welterweight (Donald Cerrone).
Not only did Matt easily make weight, he made weight even after his fight was moved up three weeks. He also feels better, because the inflammation that he was suffering is gone.
But there’s a bigger point of consideration, here, though. Matt has taken a chance by going against the current dogma, and putting his money where his mouth is by switching to keto. And he’s doing it for the right reasons.
