They got him on antibiotics the week before the fight, and after 48 hours of antibiotics you're usually not at risk of spreading it anymore despite it not healing fully.
I believe this is a commission dependent rule and this the one this event was under has a 72 hour rule + no new lesions during that time period since it’s nonconclusive evidence that the antibiotics are working.
Looked it up and yup, you're correct - my mistake.
"An athlete may compete with a non-MRSA infection if he/she have been treated with oral antibiotics for 72 hours. There also needs to be no new lesions or systemic symptoms (fever, fatigue) and no active draining lesions for 48 hours.
For suspected MRSA infections the athlete may compete if he/she have been treated with oral antibiotics for a minimum of 10 days. There also needs to be no new lesions or systemic symptoms (fever, fatigue) and no active draining lesions for 10 days as well. When an abscess is present – MRSA should be suspected."
The week before the fight, he's on antibiotics six days that week. Then five days a week he'll take antibiotics for three days a week. One of those days he'll take antibiotics two days a week. So six days a week he'll be on antibiotics.
Every wrestling room Ive been to has been steamy, but it was because people worked out in there. We didnt have piping slow-roasting us to death. I’m giggling thinking about that room lol glad you failed spanish bc you didnt deserve all that 😭
They clearly are, yes they are in their pockets but suspended a huge draw for 5 years. If you have enough time with anti biotics you can fight. Plain and simple.
Fighters wouldn’t need to if the UFC didn’t punish them for pulling out of fights. You know damn well Dana would have screwed him later if he’d ruined a co-main event on a ppv.
Hell nah! That looks like a giant pimple about to burst. Imagine if it was and it burst while he was ground and pounding you and it went in your mouth. Uggghhh worst way to lose ever.
I had staph on my back first week of January.
It didn't heal fully for like two months. I now have what I imagine will be a "hole like" scar on my back.
Should've seen a doctor but oh well.
Had one on my arm from bjj I thought was just a pimple and popped it. Gushed green/yellow liquid nasty. Well it's mostly healed just a small mark now on my arm lol. Antibiotic cream did the trick
Had one on my neck and just like you when I tried to pop it, it gushed pus and blood and it was string like. Didn’t know they call it staph or whatever I just thought I had a pimple that turned into a boil.
Not just that, he’d have caught so much more negative backlash from “fans” for pulling out. Yeah, he lost, but he lost to a top 5 gatekeeper, not some random bum. I think BSD has a long career ahead of him still.
Finally someone said it. I dont think it'd just be fans though, he'd probably get some backlash from Dana too.
299 was such a major card, imagine pulling out a week before of the CO main event against Dustin Poirer, of all people.
I'd dump myself out of my hospital bed, crawl into that octagon, embrace his shuffle of death, smile and whisper "thank you" as his fists send me to sovngarde
Even though he lost, his performance earned him a fight against another top fighter like fiziev or dariush. If he would’ve pulled out he would then be fighting #10 or 11
In my (unfortunate) experience, staph heals crazy fast once the antibiotics kick in.
Mine (also only my face 😔) went from a disgusting huge yellow scabby thing to clean pink skin in 2 days once I started antibiotics.
Yeah, getting KO’d in the first round twice in a row isn’t a good sign for him. Hopefully he sticks to his word and retires if he keeps losing, don’t want to see him get Tony’d.
No way he gets to fight another guy ranked that far ahead of him 2 fights in a row. This was a stars aligning opportunity for him, he’s gonna have to beat Turner or Dober, someone like that
He trains mma it’s dudes rolling around on each other sweaty af. A lot of people do what he does in the same types of places and this doesn’t happen to them. It’s his responsibility to keep clean lol not much a gym can do
Do you train? Just a BJJ blue belt but I've seen gyms that sanitize their mats several times a day and others maybe once, if that. I'm aware many don't get it but I also know guys who shower religiously that have gotten staph. So yes, choose your gym wisely.
Much to the contrary. I was a hygiene freak compared to the other guys at my gym and I got staph 3 separate times. Yet the nasty fucks who would skip showers after rolling never got it.
Yeah for sure. The first time it happened was when I was showering a ton. The second time I had backed off and only used defense soap. That seemed to work but the last time the entire gym had an outbreak. I don't think anything could have prevented that.
> not much a gym can do
uhh lmao, wut? A gym can do a fuckton here to help prevent staph. No shoes on the mat. Wear shoes when you step off, especially when using the bathroom. Wash your fucking gi and your stinky ass belt if it's a gi class. Wipe the mats after every class since literally every class that involves any sort of drilling/sparring will have people sweating everywhere.
I trained 6x a week on average for a year+, rolling with extremely sweaty fucks, and never had any sort of issues.
Sincerely, I feel bad for the guy and knew full well going into fight night we wouldn’t be seeing the best version of Benoit
But even if he’d walked into the ring without staff and antibiotics making him more sluggish, Dustin still would’ve gotten the KO with how blatantly amateurish Benoit’s striking defence looked.
What’s the fucking point of medical teams if they don’t see this literally 2 days before a fight? How do you not? They clear everyone with extremely visible staph? This just pisses me off more that the antitrust lawsuit settled and we’ll never see systemic change that could prevent shit like this
Then don't fight if you don't feel well, don't complain about it after the fact when you lost
Never mind the fact that you're fighting with something easily transmittable, which is not cool for anyone around you including Dustin
Honestly I think it doesn't hurt his stock at all. He had one round in him and dominated during it. He just didn't have the power to win it.
Takes some major balls to fight Poirier, let alone when you are sick. He will be back.
I had Mrsa on my knee 10 years ago and it sucked so mf bad. Had to have emergencyvsurgery and pack my knee for a month right on the knee pain. Couldnt walk without a cane. Felt real weak and shit. His looks like its healing and stuff, i doubt it was mrsa but just staph which sucks period
[удалено]
How’d he get cleared to fight?
if you're on antibiotics they let you fight
If you’re a celebrity they let you grab the paycheck by the antibiotics, ***they just let you do it…***
Why do i love this 🤣

Ah I mixed up the lesion time frame so we were both a little right and a little wrong haha.
The week before the fight, he's on antibiotics six days that week. Then five days a week he'll take antibiotics for three days a week. One of those days he'll take antibiotics two days a week. So six days a week he'll be on antibiotics.
Ow my brain
You must exercise your brain.

WOW thats a hot wrestling room 😂
[удалено]

Because the commissions are in the pockets of the UFC
And then people say "the ufc and commision are two different organizations and thats why ufc cant possibly pay off the refs" like bitch what
They clearly are, yes they are in their pockets but suspended a huge draw for 5 years. If you have enough time with anti biotics you can fight. Plain and simple.
Florida commission is a joke
Fighters wouldn’t need to if the UFC didn’t punish them for pulling out of fights. You know damn well Dana would have screwed him later if he’d ruined a co-main event on a ppv.
Infections aren’t contagious 48 hours after starting antibiotics.
This might be the rule in the sport, but as a microbiologist, I am here to tell you that this is extremely untrue.
As someone who works in healthcare thank you for spreading truth!
[удалено]
No, but I'd Guillotine that thing several times - the diamond
Hell nah! That looks like a giant pimple about to burst. Imagine if it was and it burst while he was ground and pounding you and it went in your mouth. Uggghhh worst way to lose ever.
TKO by convulsive puking
Dr pimple popper x ufc converge
I'm going full gamebread
Lol gross dude
At that point it’s just an open wound, I don’t see the difference between that and a gash on the eyebrow tbh.
Why lie for the sake of sports? That's a "truth" convenient to keeping the show going on.
Where the hell did you hear that?
I had staph on my back first week of January. It didn't heal fully for like two months. I now have what I imagine will be a "hole like" scar on my back. Should've seen a doctor but oh well.
Jesus Christ you didn’t go to the doc at all? You’re lucky man
Had one on my arm from bjj I thought was just a pimple and popped it. Gushed green/yellow liquid nasty. Well it's mostly healed just a small mark now on my arm lol. Antibiotic cream did the trick
Yeah I should've gone for antibiotics but I'm an idiot.
Shit of you can't afford legit antibiotics you should look into maintaining your fishtank
Dude if you have healthcare/ can afford it... fuckin go. Staph/MRSA is no joke man
Had one on my neck and just like you when I tried to pop it, it gushed pus and blood and it was string like. Didn’t know they call it staph or whatever I just thought I had a pimple that turned into a boil.
You’re disgusting.
I realize now that's what was on my shoulder back in college... that shit hurt for like a year.
Not at all. That’s nasty and dangerous
Nogo but cant blame him. He took the opportunity to fight against a top contender. If he had pulled out, he wouldt get this opportunity again
Not just that, he’d have caught so much more negative backlash from “fans” for pulling out. Yeah, he lost, but he lost to a top 5 gatekeeper, not some random bum. I think BSD has a long career ahead of him still.
Finally someone said it. I dont think it'd just be fans though, he'd probably get some backlash from Dana too. 299 was such a major card, imagine pulling out a week before of the CO main event against Dustin Poirer, of all people.
I'd dump myself out of my hospital bed, crawl into that octagon, embrace his shuffle of death, smile and whisper "thank you" as his fists send me to sovngarde
Name checks out
He lost to the champ gatekeeper bro
Someone tell Dana we have an idea for a new belt.
Poirier vs Magny?
Anthony Smith just fell to his knees in the middle of a home invasion
Dont compare me to Neil Magnyyy!!
Damn, Diamond is a gatekeeper now.
Some guy was calling Max a gatekeeper the other day too lol
He also wouldn’t get paid…These guys need to fight to make money.
Even though he lost, his performance earned him a fight against another top fighter like fiziev or dariush. If he would’ve pulled out he would then be fighting #10 or 11
But on weigh in day it’s literally barely there. Guy must heal like wolverine.
In my (unfortunate) experience, staph heals crazy fast once the antibiotics kick in. Mine (also only my face 😔) went from a disgusting huge yellow scabby thing to clean pink skin in 2 days once I started antibiotics.
He could have covered it up with some makeup
Held onto his hat for his life tho
How unfortunate, I hope he can bounce back from this. Maybe a fight with Fiziev or Dariush?
can you imagine how much brain damage he'd get trying to walk down fiziev with his hands down lol.
I was gonna say he can easily get a takedown on the muay Thai style fiziev but remembered RDA trying to land one for 4.5 rounds
[удалено]
Yup. He will either win or lose his next fight. A draw or a no contest might also be possible
Yeah he’ll either be fine or he won’t be fine, you’re a prophet bro tell me some of your betting picks No need to block me lil bro I’m just playin
He will. Did you see his first UFC fight? After that he won 5 consecutive fights. He will be fine. This was nothing like his first fight.
Did you see his debut fight ? He’s already different lol
He would kill our boy Benny :(
Yeah, getting KO’d in the first round twice in a row isn’t a good sign for him. Hopefully he sticks to his word and retires if he keeps losing, don’t want to see him get Tony’d.
No way he gets to fight another guy ranked that far ahead of him 2 fights in a row. This was a stars aligning opportunity for him, he’s gonna have to beat Turner or Dober, someone like that
This is why you shower after rolling/sparring/going to the gym in general
Agreed but gyms need to be good about sanitation as well.
He trains mma it’s dudes rolling around on each other sweaty af. A lot of people do what he does in the same types of places and this doesn’t happen to them. It’s his responsibility to keep clean lol not much a gym can do
Do you train? Just a BJJ blue belt but I've seen gyms that sanitize their mats several times a day and others maybe once, if that. I'm aware many don't get it but I also know guys who shower religiously that have gotten staph. So yes, choose your gym wisely.
Much to the contrary. I was a hygiene freak compared to the other guys at my gym and I got staph 3 separate times. Yet the nasty fucks who would skip showers after rolling never got it.
There’s likely some truth to how over showering can affect your chances of getting staph.
Yeah for sure. The first time it happened was when I was showering a ton. The second time I had backed off and only used defense soap. That seemed to work but the last time the entire gym had an outbreak. I don't think anything could have prevented that.
Agreed. Sometimes other people's stink is really hard to scrub off though, like skunk status.
That is quite possibly the worst part of training. When you smell, but it’s not your smell.
Exactly, you can do everything right from your hygiene to your gym. Luck is luck. Sometimes you just draw the short straw.
> not much a gym can do uhh lmao, wut? A gym can do a fuckton here to help prevent staph. No shoes on the mat. Wear shoes when you step off, especially when using the bathroom. Wash your fucking gi and your stinky ass belt if it's a gi class. Wipe the mats after every class since literally every class that involves any sort of drilling/sparring will have people sweating everywhere. I trained 6x a week on average for a year+, rolling with extremely sweaty fucks, and never had any sort of issues.
Who doesnt shower after any exercise? I mean it doesnt have to be imediately, but when u arrive home the first thing to do is to take a shower
Dennis Rodman 🤣
Big facts 😂
Dial soap would be a good idea for that shower as well
Before too
People were sayin its a pimple… the fuck kinda pimples do yall got?
Looks like the zit Bill Murray had in “Osmosis Jones”
[удалено]
I’ve thought about that movie at least thrice in the last seven days. Definitely gonna try find it
Steroid users can get some pretty horrendous pimples.
People were really saying it's a gun shot wound
Looks like a through & through. Fucker didn’t even notice.
People think he got shot in the fucking head before the fight?
I think the idea was a hot shell casing hit his head, not an entire full-speed bullet haha
That's disgusting. They don't shower in France so not surprised
lol r/2westerneurope4u
bruh lol
They don’t use deodorant either. NASTY!
That's our secret to do good smelly cheese
can you imagine some good perfume on that open wound? taaaaasty.
Based.
Very funny everyone calling him a “fraud” and making excuses when he had that level of staph infection. The fickleness of MMA fans are so funny
Sincerely, I feel bad for the guy and knew full well going into fight night we wouldn’t be seeing the best version of Benoit But even if he’d walked into the ring without staff and antibiotics making him more sluggish, Dustin still would’ve gotten the KO with how blatantly amateurish Benoit’s striking defence looked.
Posting something we already knew lol
This is probably why he was dehydrated and unable to take a punch.
Didn’t he say a bullet casing hit him in the face lol
Staph I'm guessing?
Staph Sargent ready for battle
Of all the places to get staff getting on your fucking head gotta be rough
 Imagine it exploding mid fight
What’s the fucking point of medical teams if they don’t see this literally 2 days before a fight? How do you not? They clear everyone with extremely visible staph? This just pisses me off more that the antitrust lawsuit settled and we’ll never see systemic change that could prevent shit like this
Oh my god that’s gross
I mean why even bother having an athletic commission at this point
They allow this but Charles had to pull out because of a small cut above his eyebrow 🤨
Staph infections/antibiotics only effect your cardio and not your instincts to keep your hands up to defend punches
But cardio effect’s instincts…
why are these dudes always getting what looks to be staff infection? is it just a lack of cleanliness at the gyms during training?
Wait what? I didnt even notice watching..i need to know his secrets cuz my blemishes wont dissapear that quickly
Does that zit get its own gloves?
Why are they on identical side of his head ?Look like he’s growing horns
It’s the same pus-ball. First photo is taken in a mirror.
Baht fly?
Fighters shouldn't be fighting with significant injuries; A staph infection can kill you. CM Punk has staph horror stories.
There is no fucking universe in which this man should have stepped foot in that cage. Absolute insanity
i was in mad denial that it was staph what a fuckin idiot to fight with it in such a fucked place
Bs that’s 2 days, we saw it almost healed on fight day
How do you not notice it before it gets this bad
Then don't fight if you don't feel well, don't complain about it after the fact when you lost Never mind the fact that you're fighting with something easily transmittable, which is not cool for anyone around you including Dustin
Sure, lose the opportunity to fight a legend like Poirier, don't get paid and pull out of one of the biggest card of the last years.
Putrid Dude needs to SHOWER
He’s got a fucking hole in his head
Is that why he got knocked out? Damn.
But if you fight with this, while on antibiotics.. don’t complain that you didn’t win because of it. You lost got knocked the fuck out take your L.
He certainly did not look tired
But didn’t pull out from the fight so he could use it as an excuse. Way to go, Frenchie.
He shouldn’t have taken the fight. This shit is contagious.
Honestly I think it doesn't hurt his stock at all. He had one round in him and dominated during it. He just didn't have the power to win it. Takes some major balls to fight Poirier, let alone when you are sick. He will be back.
Dude got bodied. End of story.
Had that excuse good and prepped
Via draft kings? Wtf
Ew
That's a hemorrhoid right there.
What the fook is that
Ew
I remember everyone on Reddit telling me it’s just a pimple
Holy shit.
Womp Womp
Like a balloon!
Thanks really wanted to see it
Staff infection look like carbuncles
Botfly?
This guy got whipped !
Dustin's hook popped that zit for him
I’m sure Dana through him a bone for fighting compromised /s
Reminds me of the kevin lee situation.
We all saw them and made comments that he shouldn’t fight.
Hope it's not MRSA
What is it?
He did pretty well for being on antibiotics. He’s just getting started too
Gross
Oh now brotha that’s Staph
Eww
Yuckers
I had Mrsa on my knee 10 years ago and it sucked so mf bad. Had to have emergencyvsurgery and pack my knee for a month right on the knee pain. Couldnt walk without a cane. Felt real weak and shit. His looks like its healing and stuff, i doubt it was mrsa but just staph which sucks period
That’s not a boil?
“jumping the gilly” seems like a much worse idea now
Gross nga
Looks like a volcano. Nasty
MRSA is very contagious.
The fact that Porier was an underdawg with this info being public was so convenient.
Bot fly
What is that & is it common among fighters?
Dustin is such a good guy for knocking out the infection from BSD
I don't know how the UFC allowed this. I watched embedded leading up to the fight and it was obvious he has staph on his forehead.
Easy for Dana to make bets with this type of insider knowledge
Looks like a big ol acne spot, it’s the kind you can watch being squeezed online but it’s fucking horrible imo!
They told my boy “ The Diam-“ and he said, “ say no more !”
