Lyoto Machida Drinks his own urine in preparation for Rashad Evans
By Garrett Bailey on Mar 23, 2009
Machida usually has to do two urine samples at the same time, one to drink and one for the doctor
Tatame is awesome. They talk to every Brazilian fighter out there. Lyoto Machida revealed to them the he and his whole family drink their urine every morning. Every morning. The morning piss is usually the longest and most satisfying of the day, and now it’s also a tradition started by Machida’s dad. At my house it’s eggs, bacon or sausage and hold the urine please.
Machida talks to Tatame:
“My training is with my family, out Karate, and it makes it more easy. If I go out there, maybe I won’t find what I have in Belém any place in the world. I train with guys who live there”, tells Lyoto. Besides telling all his preparation routine, the undefeated fighter revealed a curious tradition in his family, a secret until then: urine therapy. Once in the day, he and his family drinks their own urine. “My father does that for a long time and bring it to us. People think it’s a joke (laughs). I never said it in the United States because I don’t know how the fans will react (laughs). I drink my urine every morning like a natural medicine”, revealed the fighter.

Lyoto, there’s a *reason* why your body is getting rid of that stuff. Jeebus…
Wow, this is quite an insight into Lyoto’s training… hmmm…
Well, that’s weird.
Yum. I’m getting thirsty for some lemon Gatorade again.
From the late great Patches O’Hoilihan…
“Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No… But I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.”
Oh Patches. He will be missed.
ummmm Gross
doesn’t everybody do it? ehehe, well it seems to be an ancient asian tradition but don’t eat asparagus… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urophagia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy
That movie was on all weekend. “We should mate.” “Excuse me?” “I said we should date, you know like go out and kick it sometime.” “Oh excuse me I just threw up in my mouth a little but.” “You know in some cultures all they eat is their own vomit.”
