The defeat for Vitor belfort No. UFC Sao Paulo has not yet been digested Michael Bisping. After being knocked out in the capital of São Paulo, on the 19th, the Brit lost the chance to challenge Anderson Silva for the middleweight belt. However, the European fighter, who suspected that Belfort had fallen into anti-doping testing, saw his last hope fall apart after the test results were released this week.
In a statement, UFC announced that Belfort's tests were negative, but with a change in his testosterone level, as he is undergoing hormone replacement treatment (TRT) under the supervision of a doctor in the State of Nevada. The goal of TRT is to allow the patient to achieve normal testosterone levels for an adult man.
Without mincing words, Bisping used his official blog to harshly criticize the Brazilian's hormone replacement treatment. “Over the last two years, and even before the fight, I gave my opinion on TRT. All I have to add about this specific case is that it is very disappointing to see someone who was caught with testosterone in the past now starting to use it legally,” Bisping said.
The Englishman, despite the complaint, recognizes his defeat against the Brazilian in his post. “As I said right after the fight, I lost because I made a mistake, and Vitor took advantage. I don't like it, but that was the result. I lost,” he signed off.
