“It makes you disconnect for a split second because you’re so stressed,” St-Pierre said. “You only think about this [the fight] and then it just makes you disconnect, it’s crazy. It makes you remember to do something that has nothing to do with the fight, so it slices the situation and makes you reset a little bit.”
The nipple pinch is just one of the many bizarre trends MMA fighters use before or after their fights.
Possibly too many hits to the head.
