There are a number of important martial arts and combat sports related Guinness World Records:
•Most walnuts smashed with a nunchaku in one minute (97), achieved by Mujtaba Hassan Mughal in Karachi, Pakistan, on 7 June 2015.
•Most karate kicks in one minute using a single leg by a male (355) achieved by Ahmad AminBodla in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, on 3 March 2014.
Now UFC featherweight Dennis Bermudez has set a new and vital Guinness World Record.
I didn’t think I could do it, but when it’s game time, I show up, said Bermudez to Steven Marrocco for MMAjunkie.
The event was sponsored by Gamma Labs and Bermudez faced Internet fitness personality Furious Pete, FaZe Blaziken, some gamers, and Brittney Palmer.
Now It’s official:
The fastest time to drink one liter of lemon juice through a straw is 22.75 seconds and was achieved by Dennis “The Menace” Bermudez (USA), in New York, New York, USA, on 17 May 2016.
They say the road of discovery is paved with the bodies of the explorers. That very nearly happened here – it took the fighter two tries to succeed.
In my head, I was like, I’ll take a few gulps, it will be too sour, I’ll spit it out, and it will be funny, said Bermudez. We’re all lined up, and they say first one to finish put your hand up, and I’m booking. I’m in it to win it.
My stomach is on fire, because there’s a liter of lemon juice in my stomach, and I’m super-full at this point. But they had the (record) there, so I’m like, ‘That’s gotta go home.’
What happened when he got home would indicate the juice was not worth the squeeze.
