Bigfoot is the perfect example of the performance enhancement of TRT use.

[Mixfight]

TRT Bigfoot was able to brawl it out and eat bombs from Hunt,Fedor, Arlovski who are all very heavy punchers. He took big shots from the Reem and went on to KO him. People also forget he gave Werdum one of the most difficult fights of his career. Knocked out Travis Browne with respectable punch placement for such a big guy. His movement, his aggression and ferocity was on a completely different level than what we see from him today. Hes getting KOd in seconds these days and its sad to see him being sanctioned. He was a force in the HW division when he was on TRT regardless if he suffered crushing losses to elites like Cain and DC. Cain and DC can smash a great fighter on any given night. They were bad match ups for him and using TRT didnt guarantee him he would beat them but you cant say TRT didnt help him as an athlete in other fights just because of those losses. TRT definitely made him a different fighter and it made anyone who used it a different fighter and it is a good thing that is banned.

TLDR: butthurt Fedor fan with another rehashed thread

Or what this sport used to be like when the biggest event was in a place you could use juice.

Bigoot legitimately needs TRT. This has been over dozens of times. He has a legit medical condition.

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

Perhaps they'll cut him now and he'll go to Japan. He might be one of the few fighters to legitimately need TRT. I would rather see him put on good fights in Japan on the sauce. Fedor rematch in Russia maybe?

 

[Cake4Breakfast]

Bigfoot is a guy who would have been on TRT before TRT was a thing because he needs it. Now you are seeing an unhealthy guy fighting to make a living because he can't do anything else. It's sad.

and a LHW in DC still smashed TRT Big Foot with ease

Bigfoot's the perfect example of a guy with a legitimate need who's suffered from rules implemented because everyone else abused TRT.

Didn't Silva abuse it at one point too?

what condition is that? his acromegaly? which was most likely induced by roid abuse. He needs to retire.

If he was in serious testosterone need, then he wouldn't be able to grow such a big lush full beard. It's myth that he "needs" it.

if he can't produce testosterone as a result of steroid usage, he still needs testosterone if he is gonna fight. Yes bigfoot abused TRT, but he still needed TRT to be a fighter so there you go. Easy for you to say he needs to retire as you don't pay his bills...

Nah, I think he abused something else. Which does make him hard to sympathise with, I admit

DC was HW...or are you saying a WW in Rumble still rocked DC?

Chael had to retire for this exact reason. He admitted to having low T and needing TRT to have children and maintain normal levels due to hypogonadism. Why are these large, athletic men suffering from hypogonads? Steroid use. Because you abused your body and don't have balls or T anymore doesn't mean you can be given it artificially so you can compete.

Lol, his acromegaly was obviously from a brain tumor. He removed the Tumor so he didn't die and now his hormones are fucked up.

No amount of roids will give you acromegaly, only growth hormone in massive doses can do that.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Yes. He dosed before the Hunt fight and tested too high. Fight is a NC on Silvas record and he was suspended for like 6 or 9 months.

 

[Danespina]

His chin could just be shot too. Happens all the time.
