Fans can’t deny the fact that being in sports for a prolonged time takes a toll on the athlete’s body. Hence, normal techniques of recovery often fail to restore such athletes to their required form before a showdown. Most fans might be aware of how the noted soccer icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, purchased a state-of-the-art, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) machine when his performance took a drop after joining Manchester United.

In a recent episode of the noted, Joe Rogan’s podcast, the famed former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou, also talked about some similar issues. The episode saw Rogan turning into the interviewer that he packs in himself. Ngannou answered his questions, revealing that he also uses Cristiano Ronaldo’s measure, along with a few other ones, for his own retrieval.

There are differences between the HBOT usage of Francis Ngannou and Cristiano Ronaldo

This topic of athlete recovery started off with Rogan’s question. He asked, “So, what else were you doing for recovery? Do you get massages, do you go the sauna, or do you use the cold plunge. What else do you do?”. Ngannou revealed that he also uses a few other recovery methods apart from Rogan’s stated ones.

‘The Predator’ said, “Physiotherapy and I just get a cold plunge, I was able to make it work this week”. Only after this did Ngannou reveal the game-changer in his recovery process. The Cameroon native said, “I do the hyperbaric chamber”. Several fans might have been startled at this point. But Ngannou also revealed that there are a few differences between his and Ronaldo’s HBOT usage.

‘The Predator’ stated earlier he used to summon an HBOT operator with a portable machine to his residence. However, Rogan added that they weren’t enough for UFC fighters as they often require a ‘2 atm’ HBOT recovery process. He also revealed that portable HBOT machines only generate pressures up to ‘1.3 atm’. This had Ngannou revealing that he currently goes to the UFC’s home, Las Vegas, for his HBOT sessions.

He also revealed that he has them done by a friend who has “even partnered with Miesha Tate”. Since Ronaldo installed an HBOT machine at home, most fans might predict that it’s a ‘1.3 atm’ one instead of the ‘2 atm’ machine that Ngannou currently uses. But who knows, it may be a ‘2 atm’ one as well. After all, he’s rich enough to build an entire building for his HBOT sessions if he wishes.

Although the magnitude may differ, but every sport takes a toll on an athlete’s body. Hence, it’s quite apparent that athletes with enough resources will opt for the best training and measures. Also, since the HBOT machine is a state-of-the-art method, it’s quite apparent that several other noted athletes also use this technique for recovery.
