UFC and Other MMA Fighters React to Nevada’s Ban on TRT via Twitter

Following Thursday’s unexpected and bold move by the Nevada State Athletic Commission to ban testosterone replacement therapy, fighters took to Twitter to react.

So TRT is now officially banned in Nevada. U could argue I only have one loss on my record. After I beat Kennedy I want my shot at the title

The Nevada State Athletic Commission banned testosterone. It is a great day for the sport. I hope all states follow suit. #TRT

Very happy to see TRT banned, absolutely a ridiculous idea to start with and a major factor of my personal retirement from fighting

Nevada just banned the use of synthetic testosterone for fighters. Shit just got real. Literally.

I’ve said it before but getting rid of TRT is the right move for the sport “@unclePat2: @kennyflorian @ufc whats your view kenny”

I’m okay with the Nevada Commission banning TRT… But if they start checking ice cream levels I am going to be really upset. #MMA #UFC @ufc

Glad that the NSAC banned TRT! No more Jesus juice allowed!

No more TRT? Good.Sports shouldn’t be on a level playing field based on genetics and hard work. This is a huge step in the right direction.

Good news on the ban of TRT use in Nevada. So what does this mean in other states?

TRT is finally banned, now we can only hope that 1 day we will have Olympic level drug screening in MMA. So we can catch the EPO, HGH users
