Look at this big guy DC sprinting faster than Usan Bolt

I see a lot of fighters already in a sweat by the time they make it to the cage
i know diaz and dc sprint before fights
whats the purpose behind actually sweating instead of just getting the blood flowing / heart rate up?

And for yourself, do you get itchy before you sweat?
 
Get the flood flowing calm the nerves etc i would assume
 
that 1st picture is actually hilarious not gonna lie guys
 
If they come into the fight sweaty it may also provide an advantage grappling in the first round
 
If you’re covered in sweat you’re harder to grapple I guess that may play a little factor into it
 
Did you guys see Larkin’s fight in Bellator on Friday?

Dude was oiled up and glistening like a delicious turkey

they are scared and nervous, that helps to set things right
imagine you do that before the job interview, you would be more confident and less insecure
 
Seriously???

So basically you're asking "why do people warm up and stretch before exercise"??

Goddamnit, fuck this place.

As soon as the fight starts some guy is going to try to take their head off. Got to get the brain up to speed and in the moment, get some intensity going
 
Realistically you want to catch that second wind by the time you step in the cage so you don't have all of that nervous energy.
 
You one of them guys from the parking lot to the locker room straight into the gym doing full sets on bench & arms, no warm ups & blood flow required....

Not sure if you read the title or not, but the question was clearly why get drenched in sweat before a fight as opposed to just getting warmed up

Have you played any school sports that require running/explosivness? Track, football, wrestling, basketball, ETC?
 
A full contact fight is much different from a workout at the gym

Can’t just be doing gym class stretches and go fight
