“Last time he got tested. He couldn’t give me a straight answer, let’s put it that way. I was tested twice in the last three weeks, at night, because they are trying to catch me off guard.

“It’s the first two times, it is the first time they have ever tested me at night. Where is your t-shirt? I’ve been tested over 30 times, so where is your t-shirt?,” asked Adesanya.

Is Costa being untested throughout?

No, certainly not. USADA has been testing all the athletes and has been a bit too harsh on them at times.

However, Costa still put on some cheek as he appeared to be bossing over the USADA on Twitter. After replying to Adesanya, Costa has also mentioned that he is out of the testing zone.

Even though he claims may be false, Costa has surely intensified the rivalry between him and Adesanya, prior to UFC 253. The PPV battle between them will happen on September 26. However, the venue and the complete fight card are still not up.
