Can a fighter drink soda instead of water when they are cornered in between rounds?

I don't see how having a Pepsi could hurt especially when people feel more refreshed after drinking soda than water.

How about a beer.... Nothing more refreshing than that

Jones has been known to have some coke.

Man I would love to see some fighter sip a cup of coffee between rounds haha the visual of that is fantastic

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Definitely no

The Guy Who drink Beer between round would become my favorite fighter right away.

Fuck fighting, this should be the main attraction. Who wouldn’t pay PPV money to see Roy Nelson chug a gallon of chicken gravy through a moderately sized funnel?

Nah no footage, I think he goes under the octagon to consume it.

No caffeinated beverages leading up to or during a fight are allowed. Water bottles have to be approved prior to being used in a corner. Some bottles have been thrown out of the cage by the commission because they weren't signed by a commission member.

hes probably serious but hes wrong. he watches too much rogan.



to answer TS question, pretty much every commission states only water is allowed between rounds, and generally only water is allowed in the locker rooms as well. This is why all the monster cans are empty. its commission rules.
