Good point. As luck would have it, those were the three names I'd had the most hope for in the UFC. I expected Mirko to get and keep the HW belt a long time, with Silva holding the LH Belt.
Boy was that a miss on my part..lol
Furthermore look at Dan Henderson.
One of the better fighters to come back to the UFC from Pride.
But he wasn't exactly lighting it up at first. Could it be that he had to adhere to the testing.
Then all of a sudden he wins 7 of 8 and we find out that he is on testosterone replacement therapy.
Ask yourself why all these fighters in the prime of their life need TRT?
Yet we don't hear any mention of this in the other major sports.
Something is afoul here I suspect.
