So I appreciate there will be a commission making sure he&#8217;s doing things right. I\u2019m not a big TRT guy \u2013 I don\u2019t think TRT belongs in our sport. I don\u2019t like it. I don\u2019t have the highest testosterone in the world, and I wouldn\u2019t take it. I feel just fine where I\u2019m at. Some people would probably tell me to take testosterone, but I wouldn\u2019t do it. I don&#8217;t have high testosterone at all. I&#8217;m completely fine. I guarantee his testosterone on TRT is two or three times higher than mine. I wake up and I work hard two or three times a day. I don&#8217;t feel that there&#8217;s a need for it, and if it comes to point where you need it, then you retire, you don&#8217;t fight. Fighting is a sport where strength is important, and if you&#8217;re going to have extra testosterone, especially after you&#8217;ve been caught cheating, it&#8217;s unfair.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u201cI\u2019m happy about (fighting in Las Vegas).

He\u2019s on TRT and he\u2019s been caught cheating before for testosterone and I don\u2019t know what else. \u2026 For a guy who\u2019s 36 years old to have a lot higher testosterone than me at 29 years old, and I\u2019ve never taken anything, is really not fair. So I\u2019m happy that I\u2019ll be fighting in Vegas, and I hope they\u2019ll do due diligence in testing him to make sure he\u2019s not cheating.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/msn.foxsports.com\/ufc\/story\/weidman-thinks-belfort-matchup-in-las-vegas-would-be-perfect-010314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOX Sports<\/a>, UFC middleweight champion, Chris Weidman discussed his next opponent, Vitor Belfort and his use of TRT.<\/p>\n<p>Agree with the champ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s failed a drug test before.
