I did get a homophobic vibe from the OP. Maybe I need more coffee.
Methinks, he doth protest too much…
Agreed.
I’ve never heard of one either. I know in the ISCF though, amateurs aren’t required to have any kind of blood tests (pros are, however). It kind of worries me, but I’m a germ freak.
I’d still like to know what he/she studies. If it is something like RBSD, then that would be just perfect!
Fixed
I understand, and I agree that one should be concerned. However, I don’t think it is the Most Potent UFC Danger as the OP thinks.
Anyone in there right mind should be concerned, but does your concern keep you from competing/training?
I haven’t competed yet, but it hasn’t affected my training. I do wash with hibiclens as soon as I get home after I leave the gym, however.
I agree that it is not the most potent danger though.
The number 1 danger in the UFC,
is getting your ass beat!
IMHO.
I am aware of germs and bloodbourne pathogens and the like, but it hasn’t stopped me from starting BJJ training. If we were to let our fear of germs tap us out, we would never leave the house.
Well said.
My sentiments exactly.
Awww, and seeing them doing that give you a hard-on, which then makes you feel embarrassed or angry, which then makes you post stuff like this to reassure yourself you are manly enough to point your finger at these sweaty semi-naked men, right?
Why is it great? It’s a whole bunch of semi-naked men rassling in their own sweat. It can’t be great unless you like watching them on the ground… in tapout-shorts!!!
Well, you don’t have to. Just stay away from them and from serious martial arts. As long as you keep doing what you are doing (which is nothing), you’ll be fine. Your closet will keep you safe from these sweaty semi-naked rasslers.
And you are sure of this because you are a medical doctor who test many of these fighters, and as a result you are in a position to make a valid statement, right?
Or are you pulling that stamenent out of your ass from the sterility of your closet?
A valid, serious response can only be elicited from a serious, valid question.
A concern to whom? To you? It can’t possibly be to you. You don’t train with them, you don’t know any of them in person, and you have nothing to do with them. For as long as you keep watching the UFC on TV, from within your closet, your couch-potatoe ass will be safe. It should not be a concern to you.
… and you don’t even mention the huge risk of catching the cooties…
