UFC has been in hot water after Nate Diaz accused the promotion of their shoes, and now another report from Aaron Bronsteter of TSN Sports confirms that McGregor is the only active fighter in the UFC except the ones signed after 1st of August that haven’t been tested by USADA.
After cross-referencing the entire active UFC roster with USADA's athlete test history database, I found that Conor McGregor was the lone active fighter, (aside from some athletes who signed after Aug. 1) to not be tested by USADA.https://t.co/vn3W3z5CjQ

Conor McGregor is nursing a gruesome leg injury that the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion suffered during his last fight in July 2021. He hopes to return to the Octagon in February/March 2023. He may return as a lightweight or welterweight. McGregor has been active on Instagram, posting a creepy Christian Bale photo.
McGregor's team and the UFC declined comment.

USADA issued a clarification on the situation citing that fighters are exempted on a case-to-case basis. When asked whether UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, who had a similar leg injury to McGregor has been tested, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN Sports confirmed that he has been tested four times this year.
Yes, four samples in 2022

Some fans speculated that McGregor maybe using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) while some others accused McGregor of using HGH (Human Growth Hormone). It’s interesting to see so many people giving their side of the story without listening to the man in question.
Proper Twelve and Forged Irish Stout. Served alongside my own, organically grown, Irish beef, served on a hot stone.

Kickboxing and fitness influencer Matt Marenic recently insinuated that UFC megastar Conor McGregor is on steroids. Responding to this in a funny and subtle way, McGregor tweeted that he is using proper Twelve and Forged Irish Stout. Served alongside my own, organically grown, Irish beef, served on a hot stone. Tidl spray for pain. While no one can confirm if The Notorious one is actually Notorious, but something from the grapevine may or may not be true.
