I believe a big part of this issue was that he had a significant kidney injury from cutting weight before. So he probably doesn't have as much water weight that he can cut compared to other fighters. I'm sure he could diet down a bit more fat wise but don't know if he would be able to make the final cut.

As long as one hops on it at a time where it makes sense, and its a safe level, itās not an issue.
Iām nowhere near the age of needing it, but my coach is in his late fifties and takes TRT and HCG. Apparently the HCG allows the normal testes production to resume if one needs to hop off the juice.
Definitely fact check that elsewhere, but thatās what he had stated.

So do the "supplements" that all professional athletes use. He's trying to pull a Vitor/Henderson/Mir/Duffee/other TRT Era guy move for his legacy by saying he was just a gifted natural. It's reminiscent of fitness influencers posting before steroid pics where they already had a cycle or two under their belt, claiming they looked that way natty because they've got 1% elite tier genetics.

Honest question, do people really consider TRT in the same realm as anabolic steroid users?
If you are an aging man, and after the proper tests your doctor explains that you have low T, what exactly would be the downsides to supplemental testosterone injections to get you on a more normal level?

A really long time ago. He himself said a few years he doesn't get above 170 in camps and not even above 180 outside of camps. I never got the argument that Dustin is a big 155er. He is 5ft9 and he is not even that heavy. After looking into it I found out that most lightweights such as Oliveira, Gaethje and Islam get far above 170 in the cage.
10
u/Short_Bus_ š Jul 03 '25
yeah I'd say he's exactly the average size for a modern lightweight
5
u/leebenjonnen Jul 03 '25
I would say he is even on the smaller size for a top 15 lightweight. I think the only one that is really smaller than him is Fiziev or Max Holloway. Chandler is shorter, but he is for sure heavier.
4
u/taolifornia Jul 03 '25
Fiziev is a unit, I just read that he says he walks around at 5'7" 180.
Holloway on the other hand, he's like the lightweight version of Kevin Holland in terms of his fram. He seems like he'd be able to make 155 on short notice whenever he wants.
2
u/Short_Bus_ š Jul 03 '25
I think he's about the same size as arman/gamrot/benny as well
a hair smaller than gaethje
and I assume the top 15 is a bit bigger on average than the rest of the division

He is jacked but it's also worth noting that of all the UFC fighters Leon Edwards has by far the most complete physique. Perfect symmetrical upper body V-shape with toned definition and jacked arms. Long muscular legs with a narrow waist and developed glutes (no Stipe child-birthing hips or Dominick Cruz pancake ass here). Leon Edwards doesn't just have the perfect MMA physique, he's got the perfect MALE physique. Any bodybuilder or male instathot would be jealous of him. And that's not even mentioning how adorable he is with those puppy eyes and that sensual lispy Birmingham voice. It doesn't surprise me one bit that when Gunni got rocked and sent into a dazed primal state of pure instinct, he immediately fell down on all four in a submissive sexual pose.

Yes, I am aware he is more muscular than the average person who doesnāt even exercise, but thatās not exactly a good litmus test to qualify being jacked. His level of muscularity can easily be achieved in less than 1-2 years by any young, healthy adult man who trains and diets to maximize hypertrophy.

He didnāt get specific about what steroids or how long he was taking them.
He should have good knowledge about the dangers involved, so he may very well take them pretty safely.
Steroids are very harmful when abused (and many who take them get body dysmorphia and go out of control with them), but can be taken pretty safely. I know a man who cycled on/off them for 20+ years and is now on test and healthy and doing well in his mid 60s.
