He has a legitimate excuse as to why he didn't perform as he had over the past few years: his body was 60% water instead of being 60% TRT.
it was an excuse to explain what happened after the takedown

Vitor would have won if:
he didn't injure his shoulder.
TrT was still permitted
Jesus was on his side.
The fight was in Brazil.
Chris would have kept the fight standing like a man.
He landed 20 consecutive punches to the chin.
He didn't fight out of Blackzillian camp, known for shitting the bed on title fights.
Chris' chin was so weak the punch for bottom mount has knocked him out.
The ref has called a DQ for 12-6 elbows when indeed, there was no 12-6 elbows.
Am I forgetting something?

It's weird, he specifically said in English to Rogan "no excuses" yet he's now bringing up a shoulder injury to Brazilian media? I'm wondering if there's just some cultural imperative pressuring him to deliver excuses to Brazil. Like he has to offer some kind of explanation to them other than "Weidman was the better fighter tonight", which is what he said to Rogan, because the idea of a Brazilian fighter losing on even ground to an American fighter is just something that cannot be tolerated in Brazil.

Even if he had an extra shoulder, that would still not stop Wideman's punches.
i will not be able to translate , but in the link bellow it confirms his "injury"

Because if you lose a fight and don't behave all submissive in post fight interviews American audiences will boo you out of the arena? Foreign fighters know better than to provide subtleties and details of their performances to American audiences, as most will ignore everything and just mindlessly shout "excuses! excuses!".

Great question. To whatever extent Brazilian fighters offer more excuses than North American or Asian fighters, and I am not convinced that they do, I also wonder how much it is simply a cultural difference in perspectives on defeat.

Yes, we sacrifice fighters that come home with losses.
He said he got hurt when Weidman took him down, that is not an excuse, it's explaining how the fight went. It's weidman's credit, takedowns are supposed to hurt even if the mat absorbs the force.
It's the other way around. He knows American audiences will take everything but total admission of defeat as excuses so it's better to stay quiet and avoid listening to childish 'excuse' tantrums.

God was busy talking to Travis Browne's soul. Sorry Beetor. You're not as holy as you think. Just fuck off.

That could be it, Vitor's a smart guy so he knows what he should and shouldn't say when he's speaking into a UFC microphone i.e. any explanation tends to be labeled as an excuse.
maybe an excuse to brazil

Then I wouldn't consider it an excuse. Weidman did it to him.
If he said he hurt the shoulder last week in training then it would be an excuse.
