MMAer: Drink My Own Urine? Sure, Why Not!

Brazilian Lyoto Machida is a rising star in MMA, and will soon fight Rashad Evans for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title.
In a recent interview with something called TATAME magazine, Machida gave us some insight into some of the training techniques that have enabled him to an impressive 14-0:
Besides telling all his preparation routine, the undefeated fighter revealed a curious tradition in his family, a secret until then: urine therapy. Once in the day, he and his family drinks their own urine. “My father does that for a long time and bring it to us.
People think it’s a joke (laughs). I never said it in the United States because I don’t know how the fans will react (laughs). I drink my urine every morning like a natural medicine”, revealed the fighter.
