Can fighters drink energy drinks in between rounds?

[TerryMcSavage]

I was wondering the other day if it's allowed to listen to music. Someone throws on you headphones for 1 min with your favourite song, get pumped up

If you’re not pumped mid fight you’re probably dead.

I'd love to see a fighter slam a can of monster in between rounds then come out with a Vitor style blitzkrieg and blast their opponent to bolivian

Lol! Monstrtr!!

ALL the energy you need should be in your stomach/system before starting the fight. The water is just used to rehydrate a bit and taking away the sense of thirst.

It's just 15 minutes (25 at he most), no nutrition in between needed.

What if you're pulsing tho?

Not a great idea. I drank a red bull at qtr time in a football match and took like 5 mins to settle.

There’d be a major adrenaline dump

Energy drinks raise your heart rate, exactly the opposite effect you're looking for in between rounds. Who cares if it's legal, it's dumb.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

nothing you drink or eat will work during rounds, because it takes too long to get into your blood stream. if you took a energy drink with a high caffeine content for example, it would take at least 20-25 minutes to actually get into your blood stream, maybe even longer depending on your weight etc etc. it would be useless as most UFC fights are only 15 mins max.

And yo


Who in the fuck chooses Powerade?

People that can't afford Gatorade.

Drinking spunk or breast milk is allowed.

As long as it doesn't contain Tbol metabolites. Or maybe that can be Jon's next excuse. He's had this in system since he was breastfed as a child

Yes drink milk in between rounds.

Lol wtf is happening

I think milk is what Romero drank when he fought Brunson.

Just my opinion, but I think it would be a disaster.

Those drinks are intended for mental alertness and physical energy when the conventional person’s motivation starts to wane.

I don’t think an energy drink is going to put an athletes performance beyond their physical max and may even increase their heart rate. They may even start to experience dizziness or lightheadedness.

Another excellent post.

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?

you have never been in a fight clearly.

Imagine the burping from Guida and Sylvia.

Another excellent post.

Wish I could take credit for it, but it's Jon and his fanbase. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

The only thing besides water I would ever drink between rounds is Powerade.

Hello sir,

Name of the person in av?

It takes a while for caffeine to kick in, longer than the fight lasts.

Also, the sugar and thickness would be detrimental during the fight.
