Henderson, who turns 43 years old on Saturday, will be able to apply for exemptions for the use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to fight on Nov. 9 in Brazil.
TRT in MMA is such a hot topic issue. I can write pages on it and how the UFC appears to be hiding certain fighters in areas where its allowed. Prime example is how Vitor Belfort's last 4 fights have been out of the country and 3 of which in his home nation of brazil. It's not hard to see that Vitor is defying age, but this time Dan Henderson can do the same and I LOVE IT. We won't have to worry about unfair advantages here. Just juice on juice action.
Breaking this fight down it just doesn't make much sense. Vitor wants the next shot at the middleweight belt and won't fight at that weight unless it's on the line. That chance is far enough down the road that he can't just sit with his thumb up his ass. So I guess Hendo it is? To me, it doesn't matter if this fight is at 205 pounds, if Vitor gets KTFO it looks bad enough to kick him out of a title shot. How do you promote a championship fight when your challenger just got worldstar hip hopped by a fighter with a punch known as the "H Bomb"? Simply too risky. If Vitor wants to fight it should be with the #1 contender spot on the line. The problem is there isn't a real #2 contender in that division either. Well...there is one.
