Sports and superstition have a different relationship. The players have instilled some superstitions in their minds to improve their performance on the field. Accordingly, before the start of the match, they do something strange that sometimes makes people cringe.

But, today we are going to meet a player who has crossed all the boundaries of superstition. His superstition is so disgusting that even his fans must be thinking a hundred times while doing it.

Not only is Lotto the only player with such a superstition, but so is Mexican boxer Juan Marquez. Luke Kamohi, a mixed martial arts fighter, does the same.
