Report: Belfort fought at UFC 152 after testing for elevated testosterone

Vitor Belfort is no stranger to drug testing controversy, but now another issue has been uncovered stemming from a test taken prior to his short-notice UFC title fight vs. Jon Jones.

It's almost 3 years ago to the day since Vitor Belfort stepped up on short notice to fight Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 152 in Toronto. Belfort nearly submitted Jones with an armbar in the 1st round, then proceeded to get shellacked until he tapped out to an Americana in round 4.

Belfort has been the subject of heavy scrutiny and multiple controversies concerning his TRT use and drug testing results, and we have another chapter to add to the book.
