LAS VEGAS -- In a monumental move, the Nevada State Athletic Commission banned testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT) from combat sports on Thursday.

The ruling, which passed by a unanimous vote, eliminates future applications for a therapeutic use exemption for TRT. It also denies the use of TRT to any fighter who had previously received permission for its use from the state.

"We follow Nevada," UFC president Dana White told ESPN.com via text. "It's a great day for the sport. I applaud the NSAC. TRT needed to go away."
