Dan Henderson withdrew TUE request, discontinued TRT ahead of UFC 161

When the Manitoba Combative Sports Commission recently revealed it didn’t grant any therapeutic-use exemptions for June’s UFC 161 event, it raised more than a few eyebrows. After all, shouldn’t have MMA legend Dan Henderson ‘s name appeared on the list? Henderson (29-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who has been granted exemptions (TUEs) for his use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) since 2007, said there’s a simple explanation for why he didn’t receive an exemption for the event: He pulled his application when it seemed the Manitoba commission wasn’t likely to approve it. “It didn’t look like they would approve it, so I just quit taking the testosterone,” Henderson told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I stopped about six to eight weeks out. I was told by my doctor that wouldn’t be a problem at all. I wasn’t using that much, anyway.” Henderson fought in the main event of UFC 161, which took place June 15 in Winnipeg.
