McGregor And Diaz Finally Agree On One Thing

So finally McGregor and Diaz have agreed on one thing and that is there is a serious issue with doping in the UFC at present.

Both fighters have been big advocates against Steroid use and cheating in the sport and at present McGregor is the most tested fighter on the roster in 2016 giving a total of 14 samples to the USADA. Diaz has been tested 8 times in the last 7 months.

McGregor states that he is happy to lead the charge but admitted there is something going on in the sport with Jon Jones being pulled from the UFC 200 event for a potential USADA violation and co-headliner Brock Lesnar receiving news of multiple violations after the July event.

McGregor had the following to say.

“The boy is not far wrong, they (expletive) all are on steroids,” McGregor said on today’s UFC 202 media conference call. “So it is (expletive) up. The co-main and the main at 200, that’s messed up to me, to be honest. I don’t know. I’m happy to be tested and I know Nate’s being tested. I know Nate’s been throwing accusations at me, but it’s his teammates that have been caught before. I just hope he’s been tested as much as I’ve been tested.”

McGregor who was submitted by Diaz in the second round in the pairs first meeting at UFC 196 back in March is adamant that he has nothing to hide but doesn’t think other fighters are doing the same.

“I’m happy to be tested,” McGregor said. “I won’t do a (Jose) Aldo and throw the piss over my shoulder and ring the police like he done in Brazil. I welcome them in, I do the test and that’s it. It’s a good thing for the sport, that’s all I know so I’m happy to be tested.”

Although there is a difference in the amount of times McGregor has been tested against how many times Diaz has been tested McGregor does not seem to be that bothered by this.

“Six less than me – when was he tested? Was he tested this camp? I don’t know,” McGregor said. “I know the Nevada guys were saying he was heading there now. I don’t know. All I know is I’m getting tested and that’s it.”

The pair meet this weekend the 21/08/16 at UFC 202 in this Las Vegas for this hotly anticipated rematch all of which will be covered by myself right here at skatronixxx.com.
