4. Return of TRT-Belfort (and other fighters)
Some fighters are just more fun to watch when they are “juiced to the gills”.
Mark Hunt might not like it, but fighters such as Vitor Belfort, Johny Hendricks and Chael Sonnen are far more fun to watch on PEDs than off. Of course the argument is that it isn’t fair these fighters gained a competitive advantage on their opponents. On the other hand, if every fighter in a promotion was allowed to juice than the competitive advantage is taken away.
Then there is the case of “Big Foot” Silva, who has had reoccurring tumours on his pituitary gland which causes low testosterone. He had been receiving testosterone legally for this condition, but now under USADA cannot. Thanks to drug-testing, we will never get to see Big Foot in the UFC again.
