News of the Weird: Russian ice swimming
By Zach Arnold | December 15, 2007
Meet Pavel Boloyangov, labeled ‘Ultimate Fighting World Champion’:
We fight without rules and get severe bruises all over the body. And winter swimming is the best way to get back into shape. It’s like a magic wand,” he says.

His surname sounds weird 🙂

In a strange way, the claims are kinda accurate. Apparently he did win a fight at the World Ultimate Full Contact show 18 months ago:

Ice baths are pretty common for all sorts of athletes here in the States after competition.
I’ve done winter swimming in New York where it is brutally cold. To my taste it isn’t the cold water that is so bad it is the whistling wind when you get out and are trying to towel off.
didn’t sam soliman on the contender do the same thing after his fights?
