Islam Makhachev had to call an ambulance after taking the wrong pills.. Makhachev (28-1) welcomed Arman Tsarukyan to the UFC in 2019, beating him via unanimous decision. Makhachev recently revealed that he wasn’t feeling well after the fight and threw up. Right as Makhachev started relaxing, one of his teammates insisted that he should take activated charcoal pills. Makhachev took seven pills after some convincing.. Makhachev’s teammate then suddenly realized that he had administered the wrong pills. However, Makhachev’s stomach was too empty even to throw up. While Makhachev’s friend tried to find a manganese solution as a cure, it couldn’t be procured without a prescription. They eventually called an ambulance and found out that Makhachev had taken seven laxative pills. The Dagestani star took a month and a half to recover from that, while sticking to milk and rice.. “Muslim says, ‘Take some activated charcoal, it’s going to help you.’ I said no,” Makhachev told Red Corner MMA. “And I still remember him saying, ‘Hey, just one time listen to me and take activated charcoal.’ So he gives me the pills. I’m taking them all, and it’s like it came down from a waterfall as my stomach is empty. And he suddenly goes, ‘Stop. I gave you the wrong pills, throw up!’ And I say, ‘How can I throw up? My stomach is empty.’… So we called the ambulance. It turns out that he gave me laxative, seven pills. So I was recovering for a long time after that.”
