When it comes to dieting, Uriah Hall and Bea Malecki aren’t messing around.

Or are they? It’s really hard to tell.

Training partners at Fortis MMA in Dallas, UFC middleweight Hall (15-9 MMA, 8-7 UFC) and bantamweight Malecki (2-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) showed off their unorthodox dieting techniques in a video posted to each of their respective Instagram accounts on Monday.

Pizza is involved in this unique diet, but it is not consumed. The video shows the two fighters shoving pizza in their own faces, as well as each others’ face. After each respective long sniff of the cheesy goodness, Hall and Malecki chomp down on a large head of lettuce.

“The new way of eating healthy,” Hall’s post was captioned.

It’ll be interesting to see if this intense, strategic, and unusual technique pays off. Both fighters are scheduled for upcoming bouts: Malecki battles Veronica Macedo at UFC on ESPN+ 28 on March 14 before Hall takes on Ronaldo Souza at UFC 249 on April 18.

Check out the strange technique from Hall and Malecki in the Instagram clips below:
