Vitor Belfort says controversial drug test results won’t tarnish his reputation

SAO PAULO -- Vitor Belfort takes on Dan Henderson in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 77 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but he had to answer a lot of questions regarding his controversial pre-UFC 152 drug test in 2012.

Belfort’s pre-fight drug test results reportedly came back with elevated testosterone levels at that time, but the promotion didn’t stop the Brazilian from fighting 205-pound champion Jon Jones days later in Canada.

Talking to the media at the UFC Fight Night 77 media day on Thursday, Belfort says there was nothing wrong with his exams, and he had just started undergoing testosterone replacement therapy.
