Yesterday, we at Cageside Seats had stories on testosterone replacement therapy and concussions, so a story that combines the two subjects today is quite fitting. The link between the two topics is that there has been some research published which suggests that traumatic brain injuries can lead to hypogonadism. Nate Marquardt has latched on to this research and has used it as an explanation for his testosterone deficiency.
Don't shoot the pro wrestling messenger Lance Storm, MMA fans! Former ECW, WCW and WWE wrestler Lance Storm has ruffled the feathers of a few MMA fans with his latest website commentary entitled Tapping Out explaining his recent decision to quit being a fan of UFC and MMA in general.
Pennsylvania AC don't screw up the Nate Marquardt hearing! Nothing Marquardt or his management have said convinces me that he didn't cheat, so Marquardt deserves a longer suspension than he's received so far.
Chael Sonnen cuts what may be a wasted promo on Brazilian fighters. If Sonnen can't get past Stann, then his recent sit down interview with Ariel Helwani would have been all for naught.
Will the Texas commission sanction Chael Sonnen's TRT at UFC 136? Given the Texas State Athletic Commission's lax attitude to steroid testing, one would believe that they'll have an equally lax attitude to giving out therapeutic use exemptions for TRT.
Did Nate Marquardt catch testosterone deficiency from Chael Sonnen? If Marquardt had somehow caught wind of Sonnen's TRT, then that may have prompted his decision to get on testosterone too in August 2010, the same month as Sonnen should have won the UFC Middleweight Championship.
Before the news of his guilty plea broke, Chael Sonnen claimed that there was a very good reason for the NSAC's director saying they never spoke to each other. As you might expect, Kizer has proven that to be another lie.
