Luke Cummo: Ultimate Urine For Ultimate Fighter
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 26th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
Health fads come and go, some healthy, some dangerous. And some downright disgusting.
Luke Cummo, Ultimate Fighting Competitor, practices “urine recycling.”
If you’ve already had lunch, you might want to read this post later. If you haven’t had lunch yet, hey, we might save you some money today.
Urine recycling is simply drinking one’s own urine. It supposedly brings out the champion better than any Wheaties could.
In L. Jon Werthem’s new book, Blood in the Cage: Mixed Martial Arts, Pat Miletich, and the Furious Rise of the UFC, Cummo is quoted as saying:
“I drink my own urine. I had my last meal last night and then I continually drink my urine. Eventually when I poop—you know, when I do No.2—all that comes out is urine. Then I know my digestive system is completely empty.”
In the old days, Luke would fancy up his urine a bit, giving it a Starbucks speciality drink quality by adding condiments.
“At first I used to put some honey in it, heat it up and drink it like a tea. But now I just drink it fresh. That’s when it’s most delicious.”
Cummo, who has been experimenting with a raw vegan diet for almost a decade, like others who practice the alternative medicinal therapy, does so because he believes it provides health benefits.
No one said anything about breath benefits.

How do you know it’s disgusting? Some say it has a pleasant flavor and others aren’t bothered by it at all.
People also say being vegan is disgusting.
Who are you to judge?

UFC is the best but actually I prefer watching the TUF way more than the actual events, the most exiting fighter ever is either BJ Penn or Anderson Silva.
