UFC stars branching out into businesses beyond fighting is nothing new, especially in the food and beverage industry. We all know Conor McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout and Dustin Poirier’s ‘Poirier’s Louisiana Style’ hot sauce. Beyond that, some fighters also run cooking initiatives like Alexander Volkanovski, who hosts the ‘Cooking With Volk’ YouTube channel and operates ‘Volk’s Deli’ in Australia. Joining that lineup, Michael ‘Venom’ Page has also opened a restaurant, and soon, Joe Rogan might become a guest.
