So, Luke Rockhold just said this.

[Martinezzz]

Ohhh rockhold that is what you get when you get hit by spinning shit . Rockhold is still butthurt from that TKO. Cant wait to happend again

 

[fearoth]

Rockhold will be a perennial top 1-5 MW. Vitor kick was a fluke.

 

[Phisher]

He's right.

/thread

 

[Chaos Spawn]

that ko loss he suffered to vitor must have done a number on his ego.

reminds me somewhat of frank mir after the lesnar loss.

 

[venivedivici]

What a sore loser! TRT/steroids has absolutely nothing to do with a Early first round spinning back kick KO?

 

[Saiyan Prince]

so trt made rockhold drop his hands when vitor threw a spinning back kick???

You're obviously ignorant, that's okay. The reason Vitor needs TRT is because he abused steroids, if you say that's not cheating then you're on his nuts.

TRT helped Vitor recover and train harder for his fights.

TRT can do the following for users;
- Increase energy and vitality
- Increase strength and endurance
- Regulate body fat distribution
- Increase lean muscle mass when exercising

So to answer your stupid response, no TRT didn't make Rockhold drop his hands. The fact that Vitor needed it because he abused steroid makes him a cheater.

 

[ultramanhyata]

The only "cheating" Rockhold will abide is the kind that involves stuffing a rubber dildo down the leg of your boxer-briefs, tweeting a picture of yourself, and letting the world think you're hung like a horse. :icon_lol:

 

[surgeyou1]

Didn't Rockhold say "TRT didn't kick me in the face" right after the fight? Guess he changed his tune.

 

[MCS]

early UFC, sure.

Pride? probably not or on and off, that was the time of the tragedy.

Back to UFC vs Eastman, Chuck & Tito? Nah, he'd lost muscle mass from his early days and the sad stuff was still going on.

Affliction? Nope, he looked lean and natural, won with technique & the speed that's always been there

Back again to the UFC, 195 vs Rich? Nope, same stuff as in Affliction.

And then to now, TRT. Looks ripped as hell with low body fat.

Early career: yes
Mid-career: maybe
Later career: no
TRT time: ...

those things aren't the same

 

[Kneeuinthenutz]

Funny how American fighters complain about TRT Brazilian fighters and likewise, Brazilian fighters complain about TRT American fighters. lol

Ummmm. It's not a nationality thing here guys so stop playing dumb.

EVERYONE is on Vitor for very obvious reasons. Every single other person who's used TRT, doesn't look like they got dropped in a pool of retromutagen ooze. Vitor does.

So for the love of god, Please stop playing dumb.

Vitor made a giant mistake by making far too obvious something very strange was going on. A number of athletes made the same mistake (ie Barry Bonds, Alistair Overeem, etc)....

Murr looks bigger on TRT than when he was fat while being just as lean, if not leaner than when he was light. Henderson dropped a good 5lbs of lean mass after just a couple months off the stuff. Then you have Marquardt, who was granted an exemption to fight in the US despite having a previously failed drug test, no different from Vitor. It's fair to speculate he was on some other type of anabolic steroid at the same time he was doing TRT, but Dana himself said his failed drug test was due to his T levels being off, as was the case with Bigfoot.

No. No he doesn't.

When he was a 265lb monster who was cut, and lean, he wasn't on TRT.

Henderson dropped a good 5lbs of lean mass after just a couple months off the stuff.

What? I don't get it, are we just making stuff up now? Hendo looked EXACTLY the same as always.

Then you have Marquardt, who was granted an exemption to fight in the US despite having a previously failed drug test, no different from Vitor.

What does this have to do with what Vitor looks like?

It's fair to speculate he was on some other type of anabolic steroid at the same time he was doing TRT

Really? That's fair. Who would have ever thought?

, but Dana himself said his failed drug test was due to his T levels being off,

Yes he did. And it sure as hell couldn't be more trivial that that. We still have no idea what it even means. He has trivialized the issue so greatly.

It could mean the AC has no idea what they're doing and pretty much screwed him. OR it means he was completely jacked to the gills on something. We have no idea.

 

[trane]

Cheating is cheating. You can't target one cheater and not the others. People that were on it were looking for that edge, just like Vitor

 

[countswagula]

There's plenty to infer from that information. First, we know his T levels were off, but we don't know by what margin. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume they were probably quite a bit over the maximum levels based omn the fact Vitor chose not to divulge the test information - if it were a matter of him being over slightly over, it would be in his best interest to let the world know. Secondly, based on the attention and speculation on drugs he has received, I think it's also fair to assume he received the standard blood test for other anabolic steroids, and what we know indicates he didn't get popped for anything. So yeah, I don't think his situation is taht far removed from numerous other fighters who were also on TRT.

 

[trane]

I'm not digging, don't wanna damage my nails. The shit talking makes Rockhold a dumbass and irrelevant for me. Pulling a Sonnen only works when you know what you do.

I like the Lawler approach more, accept the loss and come back beastmode. This is just pathetic

Rockhold isn't a Sonnen. The man is legit, he's one of the top MW's for sure

 

[waiguoren]

Abuse of banned PEDs is a huge problem in MMA. UFC needs to take out of competition testing seriously. DFW in the 173 scrum made it seem they don't give a fuck.

 

[Drake]

Rockhold UD

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

I don't see him going after Hendo or Sonnen for TRT.

He got embarrassed by a more skilled fighter, and he wants to find any excuse for why it happened.

When did Sonnen or Hendo get busted for steroids?

 

[trane]

When did Sonnen or Hendo get busted for steroids?

TRT(steroids) will give people the same advantages either way

People on it were looking for that edge, it's delusional to think otherwise. You have to see the forrest for the trees in these types of scenario's
