The UFC world undeniably lies in wait for Conor McGregor to square off against Michael Chandler. Although the fighter has stayed out of action since the main event at UFC 264, he never failed to stay relevant. However, the elephant in the room is his getting out of the USADA testing pool, only to lash out at the organization.

Previously, the USADA made it crystal clear that the former UFC double champion would not receive any special treatment. Following that, McGregor confirmed his return to the testing pool back in November 2022. However, the fighter recently took to Twitter and badmouthed the USADA. Even though McGregor quickly removed the tweets, the words found their way to other social media platforms. Without a doubt, the act caught the netizens’ attention, and they took over the comments section to express their thoughts.

Recently, ‘The Notorious’ expressed his annoyance with USADA on Twitter. He wrote, “This is my issue. I’ve not lied once. Nor have I tested positive. Ever. I have over 70 clean tests under this program, yet they are constantly coming out after I speak in a manner that makes it seem I am lying. It’s ridiculous. F**k used. You are in The Bin.”

Doubtlessly, the fans believed that the fighter was not clean.

Joe Rogan Backtracks on His USADA Cup Comments Against Conor McGregor After UFC Star’s Response: “He Does Have a…”

‘The Notorious’ has never tested positive for substances by the organization and he made it known through his now-deleted tweets. However, his outburst isn’t that surprising as many fighters have lately not been happy with USADA conducting very frequent tests. Earlier, Paulo Costa was unhappy with the organization and made it so evident that Joe Rogan was forced to comment on it.

Many MMA fans have been of the opinion that the Irishman is comparatively massive and accusations about him taking steroids have been all over the place. But there is no proof so far as the fighter hasn’t been tested for a long time.
