Rec’d for later.

That was very entertaining, thanks for posting.

Thanks!

As a doc, I felt responsibility to point out that one should NOT take the medical tips and commentary in this video to heart.
A few things in particular:
-NO ASPIRIN BEFORE FIGHTS. Bas says at one pt that he would take aspirin before a fight to “thin his blood”. While it’s true that aspirin works quickly (<30min) to help prevent clotting of blood, that’s used to prevent heart attacks and other diseases in people prone to clotting. It is NOT useful in a fight where, if anything, it puts you at greater risk of bleeding.
-NO BENEFIT TO USING REGULAR VIAGRA PILLS BEFORE FIGHT. Bas mentions use of Viagra before fights. Viagra works by increasing nitric oxide (surprisingly they got that part right) in certain blood vessels which causes them to dilate, and subsequently, fill with more blood. The two places this works are in your penis and in the tiny blood vessels in your lungs. The lungs are affected at higher doses than the normal Viagra pills used by most. That’s useful for ppl who have lung disease in which the vessels in their longs are constricted and full of fluid. NOT proven useful for avg athlete.
- EPO. Proven risky in ppl with kidney disease. It basically prompts ur body to make new blood cells which means your able to carry more oxygen to your tissues, which gives you better performance. In ppl with kidney problems there is a risk of heart attacks and other problems. And there probably is a slightly increased risk of heart related problems even in regular ppl but as far as I know thats not been 100% proven.
-DONT GIVE YOURSELF LIDOCAINE UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINED. Don’t go shooting yourself up with lidocaine unless you know what you’re doing. As Joe mentioned it is not without risk. If you shoot yourself up with too much you put yourself at risk of having erratic heart beats which can lead to serious consequences including death.
-WRAP YOUR HANDS BEFORE HITTING HEAVY BAGS AND BEFORE SPARRING

I’m surprised Rogan’s studio didn’t blow up from all the awesomeness packed into that enclosed space.

Even to just fill in for Rogan when he’s gone? Bas is better than Florian- Mir is close, but Bas is more entertaining. I’d love for the UFC team to be Rogan and Bas, or even Rogan Bas and Goldberg. I’ll deal with more Goldie if it gets me Bas.
