Conor McGregor spoke to Brazilian outlet Combate ahead of his December 12th fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 194 about the controversy surrounding Jose Aldo’s drug testing ahead of UFC 189.
“I got tested. I get tested constantly, it’s his shady ass that doesn’t get tested over there in Brazil,” McGregor said.
“All this corruption is still over there. Some police officer from the gym arrested the guy who was taking the test. That is the shadiest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. So, I take the test, he doesn’t. Test his ass!”
McGregor is referring to an incident when Drug Free Sport director Ben Mosier attempted to obtain a sample from Aldo but was thwarted by alleged visa issues and was unable to collect a urine sample. Aldo provided a clean sample of urine only a day later but eventually was forced to pull out from the bout due to a rib injury. The NSAC published a letter form Drug Free Sport saying that everything that Mosier had done was above board and listed the whacky series of events that surrounded the sample collection attempts.
McGregor also expressed hope that Aldo was tested during his short visit to the United Sates for the UFC’s Go Big press conference “He should’ve been tested right now, today or this whole period,” he said. “If he wasn’t, that’s disgraceful. We’ll see. I’ll ask if he was or was not tested.” He said.

Mosier was not thwarted by Visa issues. He was thwarted by a Federal officer in the gym who was there to stop SURPRISE tests. Why do I say this?
Because you absolutely do not need a Visa to collect urine from a Brazilian just because they are a Brazilian in Brazil. The fight was in VEGAS and therefore CABMMA had ZERO jurisdiction unless you want to say that all Brazilians are covered by Brazil. And that is nonsense. NSAC could have just called that an attempt to circumvent the testing procedures. It was BOTTOM LINE because ALDO and Pederneiras brought forth questions why anyone was stopped checked or anything.
And the fact is, as we all knew who knew Visas were not an issue, their Visas were up to date and proper. So they lied there too.
The bottom line is Aldos gym bought him time using Brazilian authorities to go get himself clean for the urine test.
The Following day they should have forced BLOOD but NOOOOO. Aldo gets away with it.
And CABMMA saying that NSAC or CSAC or any other SAC needs to come through them is a JOKE.
They are corrupt as all get out and can easily be paid off in Brazil because that is how their government is. Corrupt as hell. Trust me when I tell you that I know they are that corrupt in their government.
Yeah. There’s certainly a stink to this story and it aint the piss!
I couldn’t agree more. In my opinion it puts Aldo’s career into question.
