Kimbo and Rickson Share Same Fight Prep
Kimbo Slice is embracing the same training method used by Rickson Gracie, abstaining from sex before a fight. I’m sure Rickson wasn’t the first fighter to go sex-free in belief that I would help his performance in the ring, but he’s probably the most famous for it as he talked about it in his documentary Choke.
Kimbo is going one step further, he’s also cut out booze and smoking. Here is a quote from Kimbo in an interview with MMA Weekly,
“Every aspect of my training has improved. My whole life has improved. I don’t even smoke any more. I haven’t had sex in four months. I haven’t had a cocktail in five, six months. So I’m pretty pure and I’m backed up and I’m ready to fight.”
Does his reference to “smoke” mean cigarettes or the chronic I wonder?
Kimbo will be taking on Bo Cantrell tonigt at EliteXC Renegade. The fight card looks solid and it should be a good night of MMA. Also in action tonight,
Nick Diaz vs. Karl James Noons
Jake Shields vs. Mike Pyle
Antonio Silva vs. Jonathan Wiezorek
Seth Kleinbeck vs. Kyle Noke
