with several fighters coming off trt, could the psychological drawbacks be as bad as the physical. fighters often lose there edge after getting knocked out. will the lowered testosterone levels affect their aggression and fortitude in fights?
 
it's possible, wouldn't surprise me.

The psychological aspect can be devastating or incredibly productive, but it varies far more dramatically from fighter to fighter than the physical effects.

In the cases of GSP and the Korean Zombie getting KO'd was the beginning of a turn around in their approach that led to some great successes.

In the case of Brian Stann 1 big KO was all it took to make him retire. And there's a full spectrum in between those extremes.
I think TS was talking about coming off TRT not recovering from a loss
 
You could argue that someone like Vitor had a physical and psychological advantage over his opponent. Probably not anymore.
