UFC fighters should take a big, steaming dump before they compete.
Not only will it help prevent combatants from defecating inside the cage, it may also improve their fight I.Q., according to the big brains at University of Taipei. Their latest findings, published in Sports Medicine and Health Science (via VICE), suggest a possible rectum-brain connection.
“The result of this study suggests an unexplored causal link between the state of the rectum and cognitive performance,” researchers wrote. “Magnesium supplementation to improved rectal emptying presents a novel application for optimizing cognitive function in athletes navigating intricate racing conditions.”
It’s hard to focus when you have to take a crap; but I dunno, I feel like we knew that already.
Accidents happen inside the cage, though sometimes they appear to be deliberate, as was the case with the Travis Wolford back in 2015. The “Brown Bomber” attended a chili festival prior to his bout and subsequently shat beans all over the cage floor.
Can you chime in on the subject @ErikApple
Always thought this was a no-Brainer. As a professional athlete, if you’re not timing your eating and shitting schedule to when you compete, you’re not destined for greatness.

This seems like common knowledge, try and do anything difficult while you have to take a shit! Its immeasurably more difficult to focus with a log trying to escape.
Now that’s a way to start an article ha ha
Wrecked him damned near brained him…
I got nothin
And always sunny did an ep on this
I mean this says it all. It’s why I have to shit before any sport I play.
Not related to shits but Clay Guida burping during fights reminds me of how weird the human body can be.
yes i changed TT
This is a non issue. One of the side effects of fight or flight/adrenaline dumps is the emptying of your colon and bladder. Whenever I’ve competed I always had to shit and or piss right before making the walk
Damn I love competing with a bowel full of shit
Def good advice
I wonder, 
. In the history of combat sports has anyone ever had the shit literally knocked out of them? Not like a squirt. But a fat, hardy, beefy size load.
