Patrick Cote's Message to Younger Self: Never Try McDonald's
Briefly

At a recent UFC 315 Q&A event in Montreal, former UFC fighter Patrick Cote reflected on his past, particularly regarding dietary choices. He emphasized the importance of good nutrition, humorously advising his younger self to steer clear of fast food like McDonald's during weight cuts. Fellow fighters Rory MacDonald and Valerie Letourneau also shared wisdom: MacDonald stressed the need to remain focused and avoid distractions, while Letourneau highlighted the importance of caring for one's body to extend athletic careers. The discussions underscored the common regrets that fighters share about their health and diet during their formative years.
"For me, never try McDonald's. That's my thing. That's my thing, it was really hard for me to, when I was on a diet, when I dropped to 170."
"Stay the course, and filter out distractions. And that's pretty much it."
"About fighting and training, I would say take care of your body. You want it to last longer. This is something I regret very much."
