Vitor Belfort Better Off TRT?, Frankie Edgar Challenges Jose Aldo For FOX Showdown, UFC Rankings

By Sean Ross Sapp

- Top UFC middleweight contender Vitor Belfort has to adjust to life without testosterone replacement therapy, and if you believe him, it's going swimmingly.

It was better for me (the end of TRT) because I left a boring treatment that was bothering me, and now I'm stronger, lighter and faster," Belfort told SporTv. "So, for me, it was wonderful. Doesn't matter what my blood says, nor the result of the blood test. What matters is what is in my head."

Belfort noted that he's worked his technique and speed during his time off. He'll fight Chris Weidman for the UFC Middleweight Title February 28, 2015 at UFC 184.

- There was a major shakeup in UFC's top 15 rankings following this weekend's UFC Fight Night 57 event. Edson Barboza jumped six spots in the lightweight polls to #6 after his impressive win over Bobby Green. Green dropped two spots to #9.

Frankie Edgar also improved one spot to #2 after his one-sided victory over Cub Swanson. Swanson fell to #4 in the featherweight division.

- Speaking of Frankie Edgar, he took to Twitter to ask for his title shot that we mentioned yesterday he was gunning for.

He suggested that he and featherweight champion Jose Aldo do battle in April on Fox.
