He suggested Belfort should compete in One Championship, considering his use of TRT. Rogan said, “Juicy Vitor, though, is one of my favorite fighters to watch. I think juicy Vitor should be fighting in like One FC or something like that where they let him be juicy where everybody is juicy. “

Later, Rogan also discussed the rise of the former UFC fighter with the use of TRT and also commented on his downfall in the promotion. He said, “Yeah, he f****d a lot of people, man. He was so scary he was so confident. Juicy Vitor was just throwing wheel kicks at Luke Rockhold, and sh*t, oh my god. So when Vitor got off the TRT, then everybody was like, give me that fight.”

“Chris Weidman got that fight, Chris Weidman beat the f**k out of Vito and that was post-TRT. Vitor’s whole body had deflated. It was crazy to see. Like there was nothing left.”

Nowadays, many UFC fighters have turned their attention towards boxing. One of them is the former welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. He has competed in two boxing matches against Jake Paul. Unfortunately, he lost both of them.

However, ‘The Chosen One’ can be one good opponent for Belfort. As both are ex-UFC fighters, and also Woodley will look to bounce in the win column. A boxing match between the former UFC fighters will garner a lot of attention from the fans too.
