Imagine a TRT Shogun vs. TRT Vitor. Amazing match.
GOAT Jones vs TRT Vitor wasn't good enough for you?

Preposterous . . . or I guess postpreperous, isn't it?
. Shogun could have had a chance against Jones on the TRT
How do these fighters manage to compete when their bodies are not producing natural test anymore (since TRT stops your body's natural production)?
buddy, wake up. are we talking about the same USADA here?Not the same as before. Under USADA there is nowhere to hide.
Exactly my thoughts.People that think not popping equals being clean are the worst sort of people. They may not be able to take bodybuilding Test E doses anymore, but they are definitely slipping PED’s through the cracks.
Look at Yoel romero or Costa honestly and tell me you think they’re clean

The 2nd fight was a month after the TRT ban, as you say, but Hendo was given an exemption to continue his therapeutic use exemption for that fight lmaoShogun won the first fight under Pride rules.
Shogun was dominating the 2nd fight until he got caught.
Shogun w/ TRT would have wrecked him.
Also their 2nd fight took place one month after the TRT ban. Not fair...if it were only 6 months later Dan wouldn't have had that advantage.
And Yoel is more yolked today than he was in his early-mid 20s physical prime competing in the OlympicsOvereem lost almost 20 pounds of muscle. Vitor is a shell of himself. Lesnar looks like hes melting. Jones got bigger and more ripped(??). Cyborg looks like an ugly chick instead of a pretty man.
Basically, if they really stopped using by a significant amount you can see the differences.
There are ohviously many fighters still using, getting through loopholes, maybe designer drugs, whatever but the differences pre usada and post usada are drastic. If it wasnt for the Jones fiasco id say they were on the right track but we know better now.
Time will weed more of the cheaters out but you will never catch them all.
Those that did cheat and now fight clean will pay a price.
Overeem is the best example. He has always been a capable fighter with a suspect chin. Then he found horsemeat and turned into Ubereem and became a world beater. Then he got caught and is apparently clean now, so he is 20-30 lbs lighter and is the epitome of a glass cannon.
He will never be Ubereem again but he still is an entertaining fighter at times.
There are outliers where this doesn't happen anymore such as bodybuilders. These guys actually need trt.It stops your natural test production while on TRT. When you stop taking it your body starts producing it again.
It takes a while to reach normal levels again but it eventually happens.
