IT LOOKS LIKE Jose Aldo has officially been drug tested and he wants the world to know… especially Conor McGregor.
Aldo, the reigning UFC featherweight champion, was involved in a controversial drug test in June before withdrawing from his UFC 189 bout with McGregor, which was due to take place on 11 July.
The meeting of the pair has instead been rescheduled for UFC 194 in Las Vegas on 12 December, after McGregor defeated Chad Mendes to win the interim title in Aldo’s absence.
McGregor has regularly expressed his doubts over Aldo’s compliance with testing procedures, so the Brazilian took to social media with a message for the Dubliner after apparently being tested by USADA in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.
Aldo, whose English insults suggest that he may have been watching old episodes of the A-Team recently, said:
“Hey, Irish sucker! Have you already done your drug test or they don’t have it in Ireland? I DID IT TODAY! I wanna do it again next week! How about you? Are you ready for it, you punk?!?”
Conor McGregor’s pre-and-post-fight drug tests for UFC 189 all came back clean, but Aldo’s coach Andre Pederneiras claimed last month that he wanted both fighters tested three times a week in the build-up to their December bout and that he’d be willing to cover the costs.
