Question:
What Percentage of Fighters Take Painkillers Before a fight?
I remember Joe Riggs saying almost Every fighter takes some painkillers before a fight and that he was addicted to them and now refuses to take any even though his doctor tried giving him some before his fights.
I remember mark kerr was addicted to injectable painkillers,would this be considered cheating?
Do they test for Pain killers? I know that bas rutten got caught for painkillers in wfa.
I don't know anybody who takes painkillers before a fight.. I'd imagine it would dull your senses a bit. I hang around a bunch of muay thai fighters, and I know for a fact that they don't take any of that stuff and muay thai is generally waaayyyyy harder on the body than an MMA fight...
I would pay good money to see someone loaded on Lortabs and Vicodin step into the octagon. Throw in a handful of Percocets, and you've got yourself some entertainment.
Don't know what they are or were injecting, but nothing powerful is allowed in terms of pain killers and anti-inflamatories.

pre-fight... no. Depending on what you are taking I think it can have a negative effect on clotting.
post-fight... depends on how the fight went.
Thai Oil FTW
yes they test
Thai Oil FTW what does thai oil do?
lubricates for the bar girls
YOu could always apply a topical numbing solution to your skin that may help some of pain from bruising ;).
Donno if anyone has ever thought of that.. I feel bad now lol.
I bet there is 100% a way to get away with it as well.
They would probally be so sluggish lol. Yeah, just give it to one of them, then.
Maybe a couple of Lithiums, too.

Now that I think about it, give 'em all some PCP and watch 'em tear each other apart.
I thought a few years back MTV had a episode on a fighter who was using pain killers... I think it was moslty after the fight and for training. Can't recall.

Pain killers can help soreness but as most people dont realize the SAUNA or steamroom is better for that than anything!.. So are contrast showers, baths.. contrast baths or ice dips help repair muscles.
Pain K. Are bad on your kidneys and liver.. why I dont like em.
They would probally be so sluggish lol.
haha sluggish? theyd be stumbling around like really drunk clowns....
yeah for real, I dont see what the big deal with roids is. Painkillers are way more powerfull. You give me 4 lowertabs and I could take mike tyson!
i remember reading something about how Don Frye took painkillers.
If you see the fight with him and Ken Shamrock, Shamrock gets him in an insane looking ankle lock which he doesn't tap out from. (yes speculation)

what does thai oil do? its just like bengay (no homo, jk) tiger balm, etc. its a muscle strain reliever. made from similar stuff like menthol.
its a liquid, I love it, but I like tiger balm because it burns! I like to feel like my leg is on fire, makes me feel like its working. Thai linement felt more mild than tiger balm.
why would you want to take aspirn of any sorts before a fight? That's a blood thinner. If I get cut, I sure as hell don't want my blood thinned. Let the thing clot, not flow.
