Vitor Belfort has been heavily criticized during his career resurgence since returning to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2009, mainly due to his utilization of testosterone replacement therapy. His TRT use was deemed legal due to most athletic commissions issuing therapeutic use exemptions during the time Belfort was on the regimen. But that all came to an end earlier this year when the Nevada Athletic Commission voted unanimously to end the controversial practice. Belfort has since been weaning off of the therapy and pursuing a fight license in order to capitalize on a three-fight winning streak that has put him in title contention. The Brazilian fighter finally got approval from Nevada to fight Chris Weidman , and while an injury to Weidman has delayed their fight until UFC 184 in February, Belfort has been training without the use of TRT and says that he is now stronger, lighter, and faster than when he was using the therapy.
