Vitor Belfort: Jag hade ingenting olagligt i kroppen

Vitor Belfort har fått utstå en hel del kritik den senaste tiden, mycket på grund av sitt tidigare användande av ”Testosterone Replacement Therapy”. Nu har det dock blivit klart att han kommer få möta mellanviktsmästaren Chris Weidman, och här kan ni läsa vad Vitor hade att säga om den senaste kritiken via ”The MMA Hour”:

I’m strong. I’m ready to take what’s mine. December 6. I’m like an animal. TRT doesn’t give you spinning kicks, uppercuts. You can put TRT in your body. Look all those guys that were on TRT, they didn’t have good performances. Why? That’s the question.

First of all, I didn’t have any illegal substances in my body. Nothing was wrong. Everybody knew I was in TRT. Nevada knew it. I could have denied (to do the random test) because I wasn’t licensed back then and they asked me to do it. People made it become a big issue. I’m glad it’s no more.

People talked that I was this and that, (saying) I was on steroids. I wasn’t on steroids, I was doing TRT. I had no illegal substances in my body. I was clear. I opened all my tests. I used to do tests every week to see how my levels were. When you’re true to yourself and don’t try to cheat the system.

A lot of guys, they just talk. I deal in a true way, open up my personal things. When you’re in treatment, your ratio goes outside and it became a big issue. I wasn’t cheating at all. I spent a lot of money in testing myself. It is what it is. It’s gone. No more TRT. Now, it’s TNT.

Belfort hade även följande att säga om den kommande titelmatchen:

He has great skills. To be a world champion in the UFC, he’s not lucky. He deserves respect and I do respect him, but I don’t see anything else besides winning that night in my vision. I’m confident in myself and my skills. That’s what I will do.

I‘m fighting in another dimension. It’s not personal. It’s personal in the Octagon, but I just have to be better, how I can kick and how I can knee. I’m also improving, and that’s why I’m fighting in another dimension now.

It’s not the better man wins, it’s who plays better. I’m focused in developing myself. It’s a work ethic. I‘m fighting in another dimension, so it’s like I’m fighting myself every day to get better. Whatever steps in that cage, whoever is in the other side of that cage, I will win. That’s how this sport has to be. You have to be confident, but not overconfident and arrogant. I’m confident in me.

I want to. I don’t have anything to prove. I am who I am. Nobody can change that. Only you can change you. That’s how Vitor Belfort gets things done.

De båda kämparna kommer att möta varandra inne i oktagonen den 6 december vid UFC 181, då galan äger rum vid ”Mandalay Bay Events Center” i Las Vegas.
