WHAT IS TRENBOLONE?
Trenbolone is a steroid that is used in veterinary medicine, primarily to increase the profitability of livestock, by promoting muscle growth. Werdum has called this unfortunate incident, a misunderstanding, and is working with both USADA and the UFC to find the source of the substance. He is set to be eligible for a return, not earlier than April 22nd, 2020, until which his career will be put on hold by the UFC.
Before his loss against heavyweight Alexander Volkov, Werdum showed signs of promise in making his way to yet another shot at the title. He had two consecutive wins over Walt Harris and Marcin Tybura before his defeat against Volkov ended a two-fight win streak in the UFC.
Werdum has also found himself in the news for other unpleasant reasons. He had turned down two fights previously, against heavyweight giants, Junior Dos Santos, and Alistair Overeem, over some financial issues. Werdum also was suspended as a Spanish-language commentator after he had a few words to say about the official apparel sponsor of the UFC, Reebok. This is what he had to say about the controversy:
Post the news of his suspension, heavyweight Mark Hunt was immediately identified as the opponent who was supposed to be Werdum’s counterpart for UFC London’s main event, Aleksei Oleinik. With that being said, Werdum will be looking to make a strong comeback of sorts. He does hold a formidable record by beating big names in the sport such as Fedor Emelianenko, Cain Velasquez, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Travis Browne, Mark Hunt, and Roy Nelson.
The UFC will be hoping for his return as well as he never fails to be an entertainer and a big pay-per-view draw for the organization.
