Dan Henderson was the first MMA fighter to receive a therapeutic-use exemption for testosterone-replacement therapy in Nevada, and he may be the last in Brazil. The Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) is mirroring the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s recent decision to nix TUEs for TRT, though the ban won’t immediately affect the former PRIDE champion and UFC title challenger. An exemption Henderson (29-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC) recently requested from the commission will be honored for his headlining rematch with Mauricio Rua (22-8 MMA, 6-6 UFC) on March 23 at UFC Fight Night 38, according to CABMMA Medical Director Marcio Tannure, who announced the ban to Brazilian outlet SporTV . The effects of the NSAC’s ban have quickly spread since the commission decided on Thursday to shutter its exemption process, effective immediately.
