Vitor Belfort Has Found ‘New Version’ Of TRT
There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort after Deadspin dropped an article last month indicating that Belfort may have failed yet another drug test in 2012 ahead of his UFC 152 bout with Jon Jones but fought on anyway. This topic has been discussed more now than ever as Belfort is scheduled to fight Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC Fight Night 77.
Belfort appeared on Friday night’s episode of AXS TV’s INSIDE MMA to discuss a number of subjects, including his prior issues with elevated testosterone levels, UFC fighter Luke Rockhold’s recent statement about Belfort’s fighting style, and drug testing during his current training camp.
At the beginning of the interview, he addressed his past TRT usage and the Deadspin article.
“I was starting my treatment, and I had an approval of my doctor and with the UFC, so, they need someone to step into the fight,” Belfort told Inside MMA. “I offered myself. I shared all my tests, my exams with them, and one went public, I think they shared my privates, but everything got approval.”
“I never hide anything from anybody,” Belfort said. “You know the media. I’ve always received them in my house, I receive them very open, I talk about it, and I never try to handle anything. I shared everything I knew, so, in that fight I got approval from the UFC, the commission, you know? I had everything set. I came with no training for a fight with Jon Jones, I almost submitted him in the fight.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t know anything to say. This is the truth,” he continued. “And I think when you deal with that, you just gotta know that people will say things, some people will say different things, but the truth is the truth. I learned in the Bible that the truth sets you free, you know, and here I am.”
I’m still in the treatment. I’m still in TRT, but I have a new version for that. You guys want to hear? It’s true revival touch. Make me alive, you’ve got to get that!”
