Can fighters drink energy drinks in between rounds?

[elwani]

I'd like to see someone smoke a cigarette between rounds.

Harold Howard used to eat a full roast beef dinner in between rounds.

I think I remember Shane Carwin doing this in some of his fights.

I think it would be a big advantage to have an energy drink, or even a milk/banana smoothie in between rounds to get more energy.

I remember years and years ago, some of my Arab students recommended Camels milk as being very good for energy.

Is this illegal? Why don't more fighters do this?

I just lost my shit at work.

Dude try an MMA fight. I promise you after round 1 the last thing you'll want is a smoothie.

 

[Loiosh]

it takes about 10 or so minutes for any sugar to get into your blood...so it wouldn't be worth it...

Unless you stick it up your butt, in which case it's almost instant.

 

[SUPERPREDAT0R]

LOL
Most would barf from that during a fight.
Body shots all night.
Imagine the mess.

Lmao

They could be pulsing 4 loko and fight milk into the 5th round.

We have had enough people shit themselves in the octagon.

I think they should go to McDonald's in between rounds, because then they would weigh more than their opponents, which seems like an advantage to me.

I'd be drinking rum between rounds

It's water only in boxing i know for a fact, unless you have panama lewis for a coach then it's the bottle he mixed.

Oh, man. That brings back memories. I watched that fight on live TV. Pryor vs Arguello was one of the best boxing fights I ever saw. It's a shame that black bottle tainted it somewhat.

 

[HardasNAILZ]

Drinking spunk or breast milk is allowed.

 

[GBJohn]

I’m a bit surprised none of you more forum savvy types have posted the GIF of the dude producing an amazing stream of vomit as the ref raises his hand. I would do it, but my interweb fu is lacking.

[fightfan70]

they should just do a line of coke in between rounds. way safer.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Why not drink a jug of piss

 

[Bombayee]

If the UFC would allow it I'd be having a full 4 course meal in between rounds. Some bruscetta for starters between rounds 1-2. Beef stew and mashd potatoes for between rounds 2-3 to really bring that full energy. Brownies between rounds 3-4 to get that sugar kick. And for the last round just a cigarette and some tea to relax. Hell yeah, make it a fucking party.

Just imagine if that were allowed. Yes, now we get to see Jon Jones on pikabol turbine steroids, but just imagine how fucking good he'd be with some burgers pumping him energy in between rounds, he'd be SAVAGE. Everytime we see him fighting he's nearly starving.

100% was one of the best fights ever. Both of them under-rated today, The Hawk was ducked cause far too high risk and low reward from Leonard Hearns and Duran. He beat Hearns in the amateurs as well

Water only.. Actually there was a famous controversy in the 1st Aaron Pryor VS Alexis Arguello fight. Pryor's trainer kept saying between rounds to "Give me the bottle, the one that I mixed" His trainer Panama Lewis was a known cheat who was eventually banned from boxing.. Nobody knows exactly what was in there. Pryor won by stoppage and a narrative was out there, that whatever was in the bottle may have been why. Pryor beat Alexis up worse in the rematch..

I believe you can have other drinks, but they need to be approved by whoever's regulating the fight in advance.

I think it is only water.. To prevent the use of stimulants.

Question: What drinks are allowed in the corner during a fight?
Answer: Water and electrolyte drinks are allowed in the corner. Any electrolyte drink must be brought to the arena in factory-sealed, plastic bottles. Moreover, a contestant must provide the Commission and its staff with information about the requested drink in sufficient time to make a determination as to whether the drink is approvable (e.g., no stimulants, alcohol, drugs, or other questionable ingredients, etc.). Examples of electrolyte drinks that have been approved include Pedialyte, Vitaminwater, Smartwater, Option, Gatorade, Powerade and Propel. Energy drinks and soft drinks are not allowed in the corner.

Everyone will be supping on their all natural Bones Jones drinks between rounds if this gets out
