Confusion over oxygen cans at Strikeforce: 'Houston'

Fighters are monitored in their locker rooms too… If the commision knew they were illegal and saw them doing it in their locker room then its the same thing as doing on camera… WELL except in this case because the Texas AC is a JOKE and missed their own RULE

The makers of this make all sorts of crazy claims about the product. Divers are supposed to be able to hold their breath twice as long if they take this apparently. Might be something in it???

It would enhance your stamina and give you a big boost of energy, before a fight. Especially after a warm up which takes away a % of your energy level. I could imagine what ever blood cells you depleated O2 of during your warm up would give a decent boost. Would in it also help with any lactic acid production that began to be prodced in your warm up, since that is produced when O2 levels in muscles begin to be depleated?

There may be some truth to the fact that it would not have done them a lot of good right “before” the fight when they were not winded and their blood already teaming with oxygen, but there are cases when canned oxygen can be a huge benefit. Many pro football players breath pure oxygen on the sidelines because it helps you recover faster and catch your breath quicker.

Another benefit of breathing pure oxygen is that it immediately enters the blood and gives you a rush of energy and focus (not a placebo effect). Don’t believe me? Well, next time you see an elderly family member with an oxygen tank, ask to take a couple of breaths and see if you don’t notice a difference.

higher then normal oxygen levels in the blood also give you enhanced endurance as well. In fact there is a form of blood doping that involves enriching the blood with oxygen and white blood cells. Some cyclists and long distance runners would do this to give them an edge, until the IOC and many other organizations banned it. Breathing canned oxygen can do the same thing, just on a more rudimentary level.

Yeah, the knee from Feijao took away any advantage Mo might have had.

 If it allows a fighter to last lets say 20% onger than without thats cheating unless the opponent he is facing is aware and can do the same. Now if it is not banned then this is something other fighters may use themselves and if so the bottles should be checked before the fight to make sure that the contents in the bottle are what they say they are.

Feijao came in at 206 against Britt and at 203.5 for Lawal… I bet he is juicing huh

What alot of nothing to complain about. Just like the MLB witchhunt, waste of time and money.

but I’ll just collect it myself with an empty bottle of water.

 Are all the fighters informed about this and know they can use it?

Let them suck 5 of those babies between rounds. Who cares? As long as both of them get them, no big deal.
