This would be true providing that all of the fighters using TRT have juiced. However, let's not act like test levels don't drop in your 30's whether you juiced or not.

Stephie Daniels: Guys that are older, that take TRT to compete on a younger level, Frank Mir is only 33. Is he really old enough to require TRT naturally?

Dr. Benjamin: Let's be honest here. How many people who never wrecked their bodies with past steroid use, naturally need TRT at 33? Less than one or two percent.

Head trauma can lead to low testosterone which could explain why a fighter in his 30's would need it now rather than 10 years ago, I've also heard weight cutting can affect levels so for guys like Hendo and other wrestlers who have been cutting for most of their lives this could be a factor. Though I did some light googling on the weight cutting aspect and couldn't find anything specifically so I wouldn't state categorically that it's a fact and even if it were it wouldn't account for Mir since he wrestled at heavyweight and didn't cut weight.

Joe Rogan actually said on UFC insider that Sonnen is a better trash talker than Ali was
even if 1 had never heard ali speak rogan's statement just cant be true for the simple facet sonnen is a shameless plagiariser. When UFC employees say shyt like this they come off like a dude with a napoleon complex

yeah im surprised rogan said that. sonnen is terrible, anything he says was painstakingly thought of (or jacked :leon:) the night before, or said the week before :yawn: doesnt come natural whatsoever.

dont fault her for ducking cyborg. she should have her do blood tests leading up to the fight like dos santos is asking of overeem when he returns. u see when cyborg picked up a 220lb tito ortiz? lol. no woman should do that

Cyborg should fight phantom weight men. No woman should be subjected to her.
