Tito Ortiz on TRT

Tito is angry about all the TRT use in MMA, and frankly, so am I.  There have always been guys who are willing to cheat in order to gain an advantage over their opponents, but now it's legal.  The average healthy male has a ratio of 1:1, with TRT they are saying it's legal (depending on the state) to have a ratio of 6:1 or 4:1.  To allow someone who makes a living fighting, to take a substance that gives them 4 - 6 times the normal amount of testosterone is crazy.  People are saying now that Dan Henderson is better than he has ever been, he is also now on TRT.  Dan used to weigh in at about 195lbs when he fought at LHW, now he is over 205lbs and has to cut.  He also looks more solid now than he did when he was 30.

Frank Mir, Forrest Griffin, Chael Sonnen, etc are also on TRT.  Most of these guys are already in great shape and buff, do they really look like guys who have low testosterone?  I mean give me a break.  Just that fact that MMA is so blatantly corrupt now really turns me off of it.  It's no longer about being the best fighter you can be, wanting to challenge yourself, it's about who can do the most drugs and cut the most weight to gain an advantage over their opponents.  The Martial Arts in MMA is dead.
