No, you shouldn't respect him more for doing what is right. Have less respect for the fighters that manipulate the rules to completely disrespect a medical condition to gain an advantage athletically.

Ever notice how most of the fighters on TRT are proven steroid abusing cheaters? Why are they being allowed to profit from making a mockery of the sport?

Thats nice. Too bad he will never be elite. He can make good living as a gate keeper.

Yeah he wins a fight with an illegal knee and then spits at the cornermen (Rivera), and talks a lot of trash throughout his career about everyone except the Champion, because he is 100% sure Anderson could kick his ass. There are two words for people who only shut up around those they are afraid of, and talk trash to everyone else. Those words are bully, and coward, and they are always the same person.

Anyway though, getting to your point, yeah I throw all of that out the window and respect him simply because he doesn't happen to have any health conditions currently which might cause him to be aided by some chemical, or something. Like most of you, I don't really know too much about this subject, TRT and PEDs etc., therefore I feel the best way to handle it is to be very angry and passionate about it.

I don't mind Bisping but this is the one fight that makes me question that.

Approval my arse. Cheating is cheating. It's so stupid. So Vitor has cheated SO MUCH he's developped hypogonadism that now he can legally cheat. The world is backwards.

MUCH Respect to you Michael Bisping.
Vitor didn't cheat either. Why don't you try to stop being so ignorant and rude, and read up on the things you're going to post about?

How is this not fighter bashing?

No. He simply lost to a cheater. It's just now he's allowed to legally cheat because he's cheated so much over the years.

I don't get it. It's like when we're supposed to like Kos, because he admits he's being an asshole... "At least he's not lying"

The fuck? No. Assholes get treated like assholes.

#1. Just because he's not on TRT doesn't mean he's clean.

I want to make it clear that I'm not making any accusations here, but he's a successful athlete, a lot of guys at or around the top in every sport cheat. A lot of guys who get caught cheating not only deny their own usage but demonize other people who do.

Again, I'm not saying he's juicing. I'm just saying it wouldn't really surprise me if he pissed hot. Honestly, there's only three or four fighters that would actually shock me if they tested positive.

#2. Just because a fighter is on TRT it does not mean they're cheating.

There are definitely guys' whose use of TRT makes me suspicious, especially people who have tested positive for any type of PEDs, but they're are guys who need it to be able to compete.

Henderson is in his forties and has said he wouldn't be against random testing for the guys who are on it.

Forrest Griffin has one testicle, he could easily get a prescription for TRT from almost any doctor whether he was a professional athlete or not.

It's also important to note that one of the main causes for reduced testosterone is head trauma and these guys get punched in the face for a living.
