Earlier today, the Nevada State Athletic Commission banned the use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in combat sports.  That includes MMA.  For some time, TRT was hailed as a safe alternative to steroid use, and its use was widely publicized.  Especially for the UFC’s resurgent star, Vitor Belfort.

Although as luck would have it, his supposed title shot against Chris Weidman that was supposed to go down at UFC 173, won’t happen.  The UFC just tweeted that the fight would go to the new middleweight Lyoto Machida.

I wonder…why did Vitor Belfort lose the shot?  Was it the TRT ruling?  Or something else?  Like, Ninjas?  I bet it was Strider Hiryu.

So, our loyal readers, what do you think of all this?  Did Vitor Belfort pull out because he could no longer drink that TRT jungle juice?  Did Machida drink some peepee and gain hadouken magic?  Did Weidman break someone else’s shin?
