Toothpick in your mouth during a fight

Put in a toothpick in your mouth for 30+ minutes and see how hard and pointy it actually is. Plus I'm sure it was jammed between his mouthguard and his upper teeth. Still probably not smart though.
 
I definitely remember seeing it during the broadcast.

There's also an interview where he displays some crazy slick Tongue-Jitsu. He is talking then all of a sudden a toothpick randomly appears in his lips and his tongue does some crazy maneuver and all of a sudden the toothpick his hidden away in his mouth again.
 
a toothpick becomes a soft piece of wood after being soaked in silava for awhile. I dont see any danger at all other than him swallowing it. He is known to roll and spar for hours with the pick in his mouth. BFD
 
i have seen the toothpick in other fights aswell.

stupid move and potentionally dangerous
 
Only a matter of time before somebody posts a gif of Pettis kicking him in the jaw and the toothpick flies out and skids across the floor. I could have swore that happened.
 
I know what you mean but I don't think a toothpick is gonna kill you but could cause a serious problem if it got stuck in your throat. Imo very stupid move by bendil and makes me like him even less.

How could such an irrelevant issue make you like someone less? Maybe its you with the problems.
 
BUSTED !!!!!!!!! GIVE THAT BELT TO DIAZ IMMEDIATELY !

I don't understand. First off, why? Is it so that he will clinch his teeth the entire time?

Secondly, how? Where did he put it?

Obviously the commission or whoever will be checking for this from now on. But if Rogan hadn't said anything, think of what could have potentially went wrong in the future. What if Bendo got ko'd and took a few shots after he was out? What if the TP lodged in his throat? Could literally have killed him.

Apparently, fighting with a toothpick in your mouth is fair less detrimental to your health than flipping the bird while fighting.
 
Some gnarly things have happened in the past to people who swallowed toothpicks. In fact, this thread brought up some memories of things I've read about that I'd rather not have remembered. Google it if you choose.
 
Oh and I just realized that...for some reason...this type of thread is the exact reason I go to this forum. I didn't know anything about this before I saw this...but yet...I came here to read some **** like this and people arguing about it.
 
What if the commission doesn't let him have it next time

....and he loses

Of all the crazy situational names people give fighters like "healthy shogun" and "motivated penn"

"Bendo with a toothpick" would take the cake. Like.. forever

I bet he lodges it in his throat during the fight to keep his airways propped open... that's why it's impossible to choke him out! Everything suddenly makes sense. :P
