The 'Notorious' Conor McGregor revealed an unusual situation experienced this Friday (11). On his social networks, the Irishman recorded a surprise visit from USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) on his private yacht. Irreverent as always, the athlete took it in stride and allowed the tests to be carried out.

“What's going on here, UFC? USADA just arrived at my yacht this morning to test me. I'm retired, guys. But let's go. I will allow them to test me. It's all natural. It always has been”, wrote the 'Notório'.

Former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion, McGregor has not performed since January this year, when he returned to the octagon after more than a year away from MMA competition. On that occasion, the Irishman, playing in the welterweight division (up to 77kg), needed less than a minute to defeat the experienced Donald Cerrone with a devastating knockout.

Conor, who, at the end of last year, had promised a marathon of presentations in 2020, ended up not following the schedule and, in June of this year, he announced his retirement from the sport again.

Even though he stated that he no longer intends to fight, the UFC chose to keep the Irishman in the official lightweight and weight-for-weight rankings. Currently, 'Notório' occupies fourth position in the group led by Khabib Nurmagomedov and 10th among the most efficient in the entire organization.

What's going on here @ufc? USADA have just arrived to my yacht this morning for testing?
I've retired guys!
But go on then, I'll allow them to test me. It's all natural here baby!
Forever and always, God Bless 🙏
