How is using an inhaler any different than drinking water between rounds?

[TheLuckiest]

Albuterol - the main medicine in a inhaler makes your heart rate increase. This would absolutely give the Greg a boost of energy.

I briefly had an inhaler when I had pneumonia and I had to stop taking it bc it made me hyper and jittery. It’s absolutely a problem, it’s giving Greg a jolt to end the fight.

Was it a crack inhaler????

Albuterol does NOT "absolutely give a boost of energy". Spiking your heart does not equal increased performance. There are TONS of studies on the effects of albuterol and the data conclusively shows there are no significant enhancements to performance except in athletes with asthma who need the albuterol to even be able to compete. Raising the floor doesn't lift the ceiling.

lol they aren't in a street fight situation.

and everyone should be disqualified if theres a fixable medical issue to get you to baseline to continue? thats why i say regulate PEDs. but your levels better be highly monitored and if you abuse it bigger bans and fines.

But why...not everything is for everyone..if he is indeed asthmatic..he shouldn't be cleared to fight. .its not safe..

It shouldn't however be an excuse to take PEDS and compete while resetting your breathing between rounds when your opponent can not.

Whats next fighters bringing in oxygen tanks to recoupe between rounds...

Has it been proven he even has asthma..or something like it...im thinking he doesnt and is using the inhaler to improve oxygen circulation between rounds so he can recoupe better and not gas in a 15 min fight...just saying highly suspect move

Inhaler business aside, that was a god awful fight. Where do they find these bums from?

This is the UFC bro. Only the world's best fighters allowed.

Get your eyes checked.

Well maybe they should allow inhalers instead of everybody bitching and complaining about it. Hardy did nothing wrong period.

minus the used a inhaler part. Never has that happened before. I, for once, agree with Dana here

 

[Jermu]

yes, lets allow guys to do cocaine mid fight, to get that extra boost...or a nice ephendrine supplement...or a nice injection of fast acting testosterone the night before....yes, lets allow it all...haha....

Seeing fighter smoking some breaking bad meth between rounds would be entertaining.

Even a washed up Mark Hunt would beat the shit out of that clown

You made this thread just for the title.

Well worth it IMO

Then why almost every Norweigian skier has "asthma" and want to use it? Those inhalers increase performance.

i was thinking during the fight how an out of prime roy nelson would obliterate him.

A level Roy Nelson beats these D level ball boys

Fighting Athleticism > Ball boy Athleticism

People are so mad that this ex football player literally came into the sport and is dominating. BBC genes are real.

Dominating? Fuck are you watching?

The guy was on his last legs against an absolute nobody last night.

Dominating.....

Never ever do I want to see “Prince of war” as a nickname for this dude. Dude is a prince of pharmaceutical companies. All that stupid pre fight antics to just run away from a tubby stumpy tank abbot 2.0. All you clowns who jizz over “a level athletes”, where you at?

Have you ever played football before? Sometimes they need oxygen between plays. Sometimes they need to sniff amonia to keep from passing out. Forget played, have you ever watched football before?

Tell me which organization you fight for again?
Only on Sherdog is someone fighting for the UFC considered a nobody.
You’re a fucking nobody. Fact.

The guy he fought is a relative nobody. You seem angry about this reality.

Dominating, lol.

When you're having an attack or feel shortness of breath.

You're making it seem like an enhancer. Taking it when you're feeling normal won't change anything.

I also have asthma lol

You said it yourself, it makes a difference when you’re short of breath. Was it because of asthma or because he simply gassed? I think that allowing it is bad fir the sport. Dilating bronchial tubes will help, asthma or not.

There's a difference between having trouble breathing because your airways are blocked which is caused by asthma..

And being tired/Out of breath after doing exhausting physical activity which is normal.

Taking the inhaler in the second example won't have any noticeable effect in my experience.
