As long as the fight between Chris Weidman e Vitor belfort for the middleweight belt was made official to the city of Las Vegas (USA), the discussion about Testosterone Replacement Treatment (TRT) intensified. This is because Belfort is a fan of the practice, which he used in his last three fights in Brazil, but he must encounter resistance from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which is very strict in granting permissions to use the treatment. However, for Glenn Robinson, Vitor's agent, the scenario should not be a problem, as the Brazilian does not even intend to apply for a license for hormone replacement therapy.

“I don’t believe he will seek this permission, as this is something we haven’t discussed,” said the businessman, in an interview with the “MMA Hour” podcast. Glenn also harshly criticized the accusations that Belfort's recent results were due solely to the use of TRT. “It's ridiculous, Vitor was awarded for the kick he threw at Rockhold, for the trajectory of his leg and the technique used. It wasn't the TRT that did this. He trains two to three times a day, he's very dedicated and one of the most focused guys I've ever seen in my life, that's why he wins his fights,” he concluded.

With a perfect record in 2013, when he won all three of his fights by knockout in the first round, Vitor belfort won the right to be the next challenger for the UFC middleweight belt. The duel against the champion Chris Weidman The organization has already been confirmed for the city of Las Vegas (USA) and should take place in May or July. According to president Dana White, in a recent interview, the official date depends only on the results of an MRI exam that Weidman recently underwent.
