Michael Bisping, the legendary UFC fighter, was famous for his aggressive fighting style. However, even he was unable to beat Vitor Belfort. The 45-year-old had undergone Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) before their fight. The loss was particularly devastating for Bisping and still affects him to this day. He recently posted a video of Joe Rogan discussing TRT and Belfort. It shows how much the defeat still haunts him.

The rivalry between Bisping and Belfort was recently reignited when ‘The Count’ found a video of Joe Rogan discussing Belfort‘s juiced body. The use of performance-enhancing drugs not only puts the health of athletes at risk but also undermines the integrity of the sport. The controversy surrounding Bisping and Belfort highlights the need for stricter regulations and more rigorous testing in sports to ensure fair competition and the health and safety of athletes.

The UFC podcaster, in the video that Bisping recently posted on his Instagram story, expresses his disbelief at the high testosterone level in Belfort’s body. According to Rogan, he had never seen a human with such a high testosterone level and initially thought it wasn’t real. He marvels at how Belfort was able to achieve this level and how it was affecting his performance in the cage.

In the video, the 55-year-old states about TRT Belfort, “I mean it’s fu*king red lining his engines“. He says that Belfort was able to achieve a level of performance that was far beyond what is normal for a human being. He compares it to a car that is “red lined,” meaning it is operating at maximum capacity. This was due to the testosterone replacement therapy ‘The Phenom’ underwent before the fight.
