This thread is going to be legendary if the mods dont wasteland it.
 
Lol you cant even have any sort of energy drink in the locker room before a fight.

Dude when he beat Mike Bourk by punching him in the back of the head this forum became a party, everyone started editing his Wiki with titles like "Winner by brain stem punch". That was a fun Sherdog time.
 
Have u had energy drinks?? Probably worst than soda pop as an in-between rounds drank

I vaguely remember it. I'm still upset I missed out on him getting drunk and trolling sherdog. They said he was cussing his fans and people were mad. He might be the only pro to receive a ban.
 
Energy drinks are full of junk and not very healthy. Sure they give a temporary small boost but then after there is a "crash"

I used to drink one per day a couple of years ago but stopped and won't touch them again. It does more harm than good imho
 
I also know a guy who used to drink between 1 and 2 liters of red bull on each of his night shift. One night while he was shoveling some dirt his heart fucking stopped. No joke. Got rushed to the hospital and almost died.

Shit can be dangerous in excess

Rockstars to deliver a pretty good kick. You're right though they're not that good for you. I drink one a day 3 days a week now, but used to drink 3 almost every day.
 
Do you realize that energy drinks with high caffeine hurts your cardio? Like it sucks it out.
 
I know that caffeine over a certain limit was banned by WADA up until 2010 or something. Essentially you would be over the limit if you were a normal sized dude and drank a cup of coffee.

Funny thing, back then alcohol was only banned by a few sports like racing, karate(!), archery and shooting sports.

I was a Monster guy. Green monster especially

Not so much for the kick but i absolutely loved the taste and i sort of got addicted to it. Never developped any health problems because of it but decided to stop because i didn't like where it was going. In retrospect i did the right thing i think

At one point, I think ufc said only water was allowed, due to spilling and stickiness

And around that time you would see people taking fake sips of closed xyience cans and stuff

Don’t know if that’s still a rule though

I remember the Xyience days. I remember seeing Ken Flo fake drinking it

Which is a bit funny and ironic since fighters often have a can of Monster in front of them in post fight press conferences.

Ahhh the world of sponsorship
 
A milk smoothie would be awful. Guys would puke everywhere.

A little bit of sugar might help between rounds. I’m not sure it’s legal though
 
Only thing that would work that fast is Panama Lewis' special concoction.
 
Kæstur hákarl between rounds. Opponent taps to bad breath.
 
jon jones takes sips - a drop of water in an olympic pool sip - of PEDS between rounds.
