Phil Baroni explains why Abstinence is the best policy (for kicking butt!)

Who knew that Phil Baroni was a prominent supporter of abstinence only education. 

In a new interview with Cagepotato Baroni explained his restored virginity, 

So I've been watching some of your recent interviews - do you really believe that not having sex helps your athletic performance? I thought that was just some bullshit myth.
PHIL BARONI: Yeah, I believe it. I know it to be a fact, man, especially when it comes to taking punches. You take punches better when you abstain from, ah...punching your own loads out.

How do you explain the science behind that?
Aw man, I'm not a scientist. It makes you fuckin' mean, I'll tell you that much. I'm lean and mean right now. It fuckin' works. You don't think so, then don't do it - you're not a fighter anyway, so who cares?

Don't you think your wife's needs should come before your job?

I'll put it this way dude, I more than make up for it when I don't have a fight. My wife could use a break anyway. It was a lot easier when I wasn't married; you could just bring ‘em in the room, one after another, line ‘em up, like when I was in Japan. But I'm married now, so the wife needs a break once in a while.

Hear that teenagers, no sex makes you mean and irritable. No wonder high school was an awful experience. 

I don't think Baroni should be pinning his combat hopes on not getting laid. Personally that seems like a dubious strategy considering that  abstinence only education doesn't work. 

On the other hand we should be happy that Baroni isn't trying any pharmaceutical products for an extra edge.
