If there was an overall MMA Hall of Fame, Kevin Randleman could arguably make it in those hallowed halls. He was a UFC champion back in the old days of the late-90s. He shocked the world by knocking out Cro Cop, and had one of the best fights ever against Fedor, but now, like so many he is in the twilight of his career. At 42-years-old, Randleman is looking to turn a new leaf, but he’s not finished fighting.
Speaking to Jack Brown on the UG, Randleman brought up some interesting and personal points about TRT.
“The bottom line is if you don’t understand what it is, don’t look at it so negative. I mean a guy who’s sixty-five years old, with testosterone replacement, could have a f—ing kid. He could still run and do the things that he could do, but without the testosterone, he’ll have no testosterone because your body stops producing it. It stops producing it after like twenty-five. You stop producing as much of it. As you get older you don’t produce as much, and if you’re a guy that’s like me, I’ve been to the doctor and he said I was at zero. I just laughed at him and I’m like damn! He was like, “You get f—ing erections?” I’m like, “Yeah. I got no problem with that.” But my levels were at zero.
So at forty-two years old, I’d have to say that I would definitely seek some help or seek an exemption because I am forty-two years of age. But believe me that’s not an excuse. I’m not going to go out there and do f—ing hardcore s—-. I’m going to go to a doctor that’s legal to prescribe it to me. There’s a big difference between me wanting to be able to fight and train for a fight and me wanting to be big and f—ing freakishly f—king… There’s a difference. I’m not trying to be a bodybuilder. I’m trying to be like Stitch’s slogan, “One more round.”
