Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski spoke about his recent 36-hour fast. The Belarusian fighter said he decided to follow the advice of UFC head Dana White, having previously fasted for 86 hours, only drinking water.
So, I did it! I was fasting for the first time in my life. It was not 86 hours [like Dana White]; for me, it was only 36 because I started to have a headache. But definitely, after, I felt AMAZING and still do.
