I'll start this off with some f**king weird information about the current UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida.

In an interveiw given for the march issue of Brazilian magazine "TATAME" Lyoto gives us a secret about his training that should have been kept a secret... He drinks his own urine every morning.

“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.

This magazine issue came out the day of UFC 98, May 23rd. I find this funny as hell. And I really don't think it'll effect his band wagon of nut huggers he has had since beating Thiago Silva.

He is scheduled to be the next Ultimate Fighter Coach competing against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.. and they will face off after the show is done for the UFC Light-Heavyweight Championship. I wonder if they'll show him drinking his own urine on the show, probably not, but it'll probably get some ratings if they did..


Bottoms up, anyone?
