Conor McGregor did the impossible

During the conversation on the JRE, Derek from ‘More Plates More Dates’ told Joe Rogan how he couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that Conor McGregor was able to get out and back in the USADA pool so perfectly. For many other UFC fighters, he claimed, this was a scenario that was ‘impossible’.

Derek said, “It seems kind of odd that he(Conor McGregor), you know, was able to take himself out so perfectly and then is able to just enter back in. This is not something that I think even other UFC fighters were aware of as like, possible.” To that, Rogan added how big McGregor has gotten, “And (he) looks massive. He looks well over 200 pounds now”.

The UFC commentator added further in the conversation, “Not only that. He is taking off his shirt and posing constantly. And he looks like his piss would melt that USADA cup. Like, it would just burn a hole right through the bottom of that(cup).”

The discussion of the ‘Conor McGregor and USADA’ situation hasn’t necessarily been unanimous. There have been some takes on USADA as well. Matt Brown recently discussed the USADA loophole that McGregor supposedly exploited. Chael Sonnen had his take on USADA, too. Now the UFC commentator has also made a similar statement.

Adding to the debate, Joe Rogan made a claim that USADA isn’t bulletproof. “I wouldn’t say that there’s a lack of comprehension… comprehensiveness in the USADA tests. But, they’re not bulletproof”, said Rogan.
