EDIT: They gave Bigfoots FOTN bonus to Hunt. Which I'm fine with, as this is Bigfoot's 2nd time being caught.

Why is it a draw still for Hunto? Should be a NC

The fighter who was "Reeming" the "The Reem" on this very issue tested positive? Way to ruin one of the greatest HW fights ever. If there were a way to give Hunt the win. Karma will be a puta for bigfoot, Hunt won  that fight imho anyway.

It's not tainted, it'll be remembered that Mark Hunt can go 25 minutes with giants on steroids.

When Hunt found out he got an extra $50,000, he responded by saying "cool".

Ok stop comparing this to Overeem, I doubt Bigfoot did this intentionally. I'm not excusing what he did but I really think he just got a little to much TRT and it is his job to make sure he is at his proper levels. Comparing him to Overeem is a little extreme though.

As I best heard it, this TRT **** is a trainwreck. Either you allow it, or you don't. stop policing nanograms.

TRT is for fighters so they can get their T:E to normal levels and be at a normal playing field with other fighters. While fighters like Bigfoot, Big Ben, and Sonnen have gone beyond the limits in which case then it is considered a PED. TRT isn't the problem, it's fighter that abuse it that is the problem.

Oh well at least it gave Hunt some nostalgia of fighting people back in PRIDE and K1

I don't like how there are so many specifications for taking TRT by the athletic commissions. It's like that stupid open attack in ONE. Either ban it all, or allow everyone to take it and don't have any limits. Makes everyone's life that much easier. Don't allow a select few to take it because god knows they're just gonna abuse it.

I don't understand the T:E ratio thing.  If that's all they test for, couldn't someone take synthetic epitestosterone to mask elevated levels of testosterone?

No TRT is the problem @Condit. None of these fighters should be on it, they just find crooked doctors to "diagnose" them with low T. Why don't we just give TUEs to everyone cause that's what its coming to anymore...

@Jitz is right, allow it or don't. These exemptions are trash.

“The whole notion of granting TUEs to young men for hypogonadism is nonsense,” wrote anti-doping expert Don Catlin in an email to MMAjunkie. “Young men do not get hypogonadism. As a member of the [International Olympic Committee the****utic-use exemption] committee for the last 20 years, I should mention that we only granted one TUE, and that was for someone who had no testicles.”

Unless you can prove that they are crooked doctors and that the fighters don't need it then all you are doing is making bold assumptions. Dan Henderson has been on TRT for over 6 years but it has NEVER been brought up before until Sonnen failed his UFC 117 drug test. So in other words it is the fighters and not TRT itself.
