Why do fighters always get "food poisoning" right before their fights? Is it the local food wherever they are, always? Aren't most American fighters fighting in the U.S. eating the same stuff they always eat regardless of where exactly they are? It's not like you want to change a routine that works for you, right?

It's not food poisoning.


I mean, in some cases it may be. More likely though is that the fighter is having nasty issues due to the weight cut.

Nope, not food positioning, he either wasnt gonna make weight or was in to bad of shape that the IV would have been flagged
