Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by veteran MMA journalist Josh Gross.
On Tuesday, Deadspin.com published an article by Gross detailing Vitor Belfort's alleged testosterone use ahead of his UFC 152 light heavyweight title bout with Jon Jones in September 2012, and the allegations that the UFC had both known and supported Belfort's TRT regime. Gross discusses the article in depth, its implications for the UFC and the current state of drug testing in MMA, and how truly crazy MMA's TRT era was from a regulatory perspective.
Breen and Gross also discuss what makes Vitor Belfort the most problematic figure in MMA history and “The Phenom's” rivalry with Dan Henderson, their forthcoming rubber match on Nov. 7 in Sao Paulo and what the contest means historically, given its strong connections to MMA's TRT era.
