You are absolutely right, exercise and fasting don't mix.

But as far as lifestyle goes consider this. I used to train under a guy by the name of Arut. Now Arut is an Armenian guy in his 60s. He is also a former coach of Russian Olympic Judo Team and one of the former coaches of Oleg Taktarov (since you're into MMA I'll assume you know who Taktarov is). There is a thing Arut said to me once. And that is that for my size I'm probably one on of the strongest men he has ever seen. Now I seriously doubt I'll ever have the skills to compete in the octagon (Martial Arts is a hobby for me), but seeing as I've been vegan for many years now, you might want to think twice before equating veganism and lack of strength.
Just a thought.
