The Pescatarian Diet of Kron Gracie, MMA Fighter

On this episode of FUEL, we try to keep up with jiu-jitsu and MMA fighter, Kron Gracie. Meat free for more than a year, Gracie’s diet is anything but typical for a fighter. Follow along as Kron fuels himself through the brutal days of training that have made him so dominant on the mat.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, into the legendary Gracie family, fighting came second nature to Kron. He followed in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps, advancing through the ranks of jiu-jitsu before his MMA debut in 2014.

Known for keeping his cool under pressure, Kron earned his nickname “Ice Cream Kron,” but you’d be hard pressed to find this fighter snacking on ice cream these days. He relies on light, natural snacks and lots of liquids to power himself through daily mini-triathlons, followed by hours of leading his students through jiu-jitsu training – all before eating his first solid meal of the day.

I watched this video 2 years ago when I was overweight, drinking alcohol, smoking and living very unhealthy life. I was 21 but could not run 100 meters without shortness of breath. Until then, living the life in the edge seemed cool, but after watching this video his way of life seemed so cool to me that I thought "Damn, I want to be like him". It took more than a year to execute that dream but I have been living healthy, training everyday and eating good food since last year. This video, among others, was one of my main inspirations.

This has to be one of Munchies’ best videos ever, the amount of times I keep coming back to it is crazy

[jessecamacho]

I can still verify after 3 years that I still watch this to get myself motivated at the gym!!

[sodapop]

I wonder how many people watched this and didn't know this guys dad was one of the best fighters to walk the earth....

[inthedeathislife]

i've watched this an uncomfortable amount of times

[maskedbugman]

Why is no one pointing out this dude is casually flexing a DBZ energy aura at 0:20.

[wingnutmcspazatron]

"Kron Gracie" is one of the coolest names I've ever heard.

[pasztorzoltan]

Never a good idea to mess with a dude who's got cauliflower ears

[Xentradi]

His metabolism is like a machine. And it's amazing how well he knows what it needs and when.

[BoBBaBoN]

Imagine you were just chilling in the morning around the beach and you sees someone who's practising their breathing technique like he did.

I like how he talks about focusing on the training rather than the results of the training. It's the same way with art. I get too focused on the story I'm hoping to write instead of the story I'm actually writing and it hurts cause the story is never as good as it was in my head. It's really demotivating.

And I think it's that way with anything creative, really.

He just casually said "The Kron Gracie roll" at the sushi place, what a legend.

[rickym]

Am i the only one that wants like a longer documentary on this guy?

[blakeheiss]

He said “most people that watch fighting don’t even know who the gracies are” if you watch fighting and don’t know the Gracie family shame on you

[george]

Dude had steam coming off him like he Was Eren Yeager in Titan form

[trevorallen]

I think I've watched this a thousand times. Never gets old.

[AugustEllison]

I love these fuel episodes! Very inspirational :)

[VinoSong]

It’s crazy, I just turned 28 and I realize with trial and error that our diet is pretty much the same.

I was shocked at his small apartment, then I saw how much he must be spending on food/supplements everyday.
