(PRESS RELEASE) -- LOS ANGELES – On tonight’s episode of AXS TV’s INSIDE MMA, co-hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten tackled two controversial subjects, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and accusations of unfair payouts for MMA fighters. On the former, Rice and Rutten interviewed Dr. Don Catlin the founder of UCLA’s Olympic Analytical Laboratory to get his opinion about TRT and its effects on the sport. Rice and Rutten asked Dr. Catlin about recently retired UFC fighter Chael Sonnen’s course of medical action to get back to feeling physically normal.
