But now, I'm on another level.&#8221;<\/strong> That is Ian Machado Garry, 28, from Dublin, the number one welterweight in the UFC and, since August 2026, the face of a PETA UK campaign. He lost his title fight at the weekend. The story that makes him interesting is untouched by that.<\/p>\n<h2>The face of the campaign<\/h2>\n<p>Under the line &#8220;The Future Is Plant-Based&#8221;, Machado Garry has been fronting a campaign for plant-based eating since early August. The wording plays on his nickname: in the UFC he is known as &#8220;The Future&#8221;. The ad shows him in black fight gear, alongside the line &#8220;The Future Is Now&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/peta.webp\"><img data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/ian-machado-garry-vegan\/\" data-pin-description=\"Kampagnenmotiv mit dem UFC-K\u00e4mpfer Ian Machado Garry und dem Schriftzug The Future Is Plant-Based | &#8220;I'm on another level&#8221;: the vegan UFC fighter Ian Machado Garry\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/peta.jpg\" alt=\"Kampagnenmotiv mit dem UFC-K\u00e4mpfer Ian Machado Garry und dem Schriftzug The Future Is Plant-Based\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Das Kampagnenmotiv von PETA UK.

Before I was plant-based, I was strong. But now, I'm on another level. Because strength isn't just power. It's clarity. Endurance. Discipline. I'm not just fighting opponents. I'm fighting limits to be the best version of me and the best athlete out there.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Ian Machado Garry, PETA campaign, August 2026<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/TOUIdmcj34c\" title=\"Ian Machado Garry for PETA: The Future Is Plant-Based\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PETA UK campaign video.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Why combat sport matters here<\/h2>\n<p>Few sports cling as hard to the idea that you cannot get anywhere without meat. Weight cutting, recovery between brutal training blocks, raw strength: the cage is where plant-based eating is supposed to fall apart.<\/p>\n<p>Which is exactly why it carries weight when someone from that world says otherwise. Machado Garry is not a fringe figure. He headlined one of the biggest events of the year. A fighter at that level who has eaten plant-based for years makes &#8220;it cannot be done&#8221; a harder line to hold.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/wikimedia-ian-garry.webp\"><img data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/ian-machado-garry-vegan\/\" data-pin-description=\"Ian Machado Garry in blauem Trainingsanzug mit erhobenen F\u00e4usten | &#8220;I'm on another level&#8221;: the vegan UFC fighter Ian Machado Garry\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/wikimedia-ian-garry.jpg\" alt=\"Ian Machado Garry in blauem Trainingsanzug mit erhobenen F\u00e4usten\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ian Machado Garry, 2023.

His career does not prove that plant-based eating makes anyone perform better. It proves that it does not stand in the way of a world-class career. That is where most arguments end, and it is enough.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies in reverse to the loss. Anyone pinning it on his diet would have to explain why the same diet carried him to the top of the rankings first. Makhachev has now won 17 straight in the UFC, a record. Nobody loses to him because of dinner.<\/p>\n<p>That puts Machado Garry alongside athletes such as Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who have eaten plant-based for years and say so publicly.<\/p>\n<h2>The fight, briefly<\/h2>\n<p>At UFC 330 in Philadelphia, Machado Garry lost to champion Islam Makhachev by unanimous decision, scored 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47. A high kick dropped him in the second round and he conceded seven takedowns across the fight. His best spell came in round three, where he stuffed takedowns and answered with body and head kicks. For Makhachev it was a 17th consecutive UFC win and a new record.<\/p>\n<p>Machado Garry's record now stands at 17 wins and 2 losses. The first came against Shavkat Rakhmonov in December 2024, after which he beat Carlos Prates and, in November 2025, former champion Belal Muhammad.<\/p>\n<h2>Who he is<\/h2>\n<p>Born on 17 November 1997 in Portmarnock near Dublin, he came to mixed martial arts through boxing, with more than 300 bouts behind him and a black belt in judo. He has trained at Chute Boxe Diego Lima in Brazil since 2023. At 6 foot 3 he is unusually tall for welterweight, which shapes how he fights: long range, precise striking.<\/p>\n<p>He does not publish a detailed nutrition plan. What he describes are the effects: better recovery, more clarity, undiminished strength.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #0a4a4a;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0;background:#f7f7f5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.65;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"><strong>Where these details come from<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\">The result and scorecards come from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/ufc-330-islam-makhachev-vs-ian-machado-garry-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">official UFC results page<\/a> and were cross-checked against several MMA outlets.

Aufgewachsen im Schwarzwald, 2019 habe ich This Is Vegan gegr\u00fcndet, heute lebe ich auf Bali. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Fleisch lag bei mir schon im Grundschulalter nicht mehr auf dem Teller, vegan lebe ich seit knapp 20 Jahren. Ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen war nie mein Ansatz. Ich zeige lieber, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt das im Alltag funktioniert. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt es dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42813"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43057,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42813\/revisions\/43057"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42813"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=42813"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=42813"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=42813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
