    Weidman is happy to be facing Vitor Belfort next but has some pointed words to proponents of TRT in MMA (I think only the using fighters support it and nobody else)...

    Just FYI...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone_replacement_therapy

    Androgen replacement therapy (ART) is a hormone treatment often prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism. ART typically involves the administration of testosterone, either by injection or by use of testosterone skin creams or gels. ART may also be prescribed to lessen the effects or delay the onset of normal male aging. However, it is still unclear whether androgen therapy is of significant benefit to otherwise healthy older men. As men enter middle age they may notice changes caused by a relative decline in testosterone: fewer erections, fatigue, thinning skin, declining muscle mass and strength, more body fat. This dissatisfaction with the changes of aging has led to the development of the idea of androgen replacement therapy. Androgen replacement therapy is also used for men who have lost testicular function to disease, cancer, or other causes.

    If the fight goes down in Vegas, which is what's expected right now, it's likely Belfort won't be granted a usage exemption by the NSAC, so all of this may be moot.
