Nina-Marie Daniele, a vegan, argues with Dricus du Plessis on health-related consequences of eating meat: "Your heart's failing, you have brain fog"

MMA reporter Nina-Marie Daniele recently had an interesting interaction with UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis. Daniele, a vocal vegan advocate, shared a video on social media of her sparring and playfully debating with du Plessis.

In the video, she highlighted the health risks associated with consuming meat, a topic that has sparked significant discussion in the fitness and combat sports communities.

Du Plessis, fresh off his dominant victory at UFC 312, where he successfully defended his middleweight title against Sean Strickland, joined in the discussion.

'Stillknocks' argued that while he takes supplements despite consuming meat, he believes that vegans face unique nutritional challenges that make supplementation essential.

The South African suggested that the need for supplements in a vegan diet undermines its sustainability, to which she replied by saying:

"Your heart's failing, you have brain fog, erectile dysfunction.. there's so much erectile dysfunction in the meat-eating community..''
