TTestosterone... performance inhibitor... lul
Hmm? How is TRT not considered a perfomance enhancer but weed is? Because some fighters have the ability to be more focused, honed in on their skills while high? Everybody has they're own way of training, tricking the mind into doing something it may or not want to do, just because it helps ONE person doesn't mean weed = makes everybody fight better. Throw in a pot smoker and see how well they can fight
it has nothing to do with whether you're high, its about your fundementals, your skills, your style. has nothing to do with anything! Just need drama/nonsense to talk about where as TRT increases all of that. increases your bodies potential that without it, may not be able to reach. it's so unfair. that fighters who smoke weed get punished, while the fighters who take trt are still fighting and getting paid :/
Hell, a better arguement for a perfomance enhancer would be music, or the crowd. Does that mean nobody is allowed to listen to music while training? One would be able to more pumped up, in the zone.. Or the crowd, do we have to turn into the olden style of japanese fighting where the crowd is 100% silent? when the crowds got your back, cheering your name. you get a rush, adrenaline. definitely a perfomance enchancer, illegal? no.
TRT on the other hand boosts testosterone. the very body that has to step into that cage and fight somebody else.... un natural boost..Boosted mind/muscle mass, all the other perks that come along with high testosterone. and that isn't considered illegal?
the rules are trash. and needs to fixed asap. Dana white knows what he's talking about. bring in new refs, new judges that know stuff about MMA. maybe retired (?) and instant replay, ufc is gonna lose all its hype and potential if they keep getting fighters suspended and having bs calls/DQ'd from both refs and the judges
