Jose Aldo: Conor McGregor is ‘full of juice’, hides from tests until fight week

Jose Aldo accused Conor McGregor of taking PED’s, and says he hides until fight week in Las Vegas so he can pass drug tests.

While Jose Aldo is set to rematch Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title at UFC 200, he is continuing his somewhat uncharacteristic smack talk towards Conor McGregor. On this latest bit, Aldo accused his former opponent of doping (again).

According to him, McGregor was juicing prior to UFC 196, when he was offered a late notice rematch.

“The fight was not at featherweight. Why would I rematch him in a different weight class with no belt?” Aldo told the assembled media as translated by MMA Fighting. “Now, to make this fight at 155, where he was full of juice in his body, where he hides and nobody tests him, only when he gets to Las Vegas, a week before the fight, and then it’s way easier for you to clean the body and fight. They offered the fight knowing that I wasn’t trained at all.”

Aldo also went on to predict that Diaz will beat McGregor again on their rematch, and that maybe a second loss in a row forces him back down to featherweight.

“He will come back,” Aldo said. “I don’t know if right after this fight, but he will. I don’t see how he gets too far even at lightweight. He won’t do well at lightweight either.

“Nate wins again,” he said. “He’s used to this weight. It’s really hard to move up in weight and continue winning. It’s going to be different now that Nate will be more prepared. He can do his thing, anything he wants, from start to end. He can slap him, anything, because he will win. It can be faster this time. Nate will prepare, will have enough time, and it can be faster this time.”

Aldo recently said that McGregor doesn’t have power, calling him “soap hands”.

Diaz’s boxing coach also recently accused Conor of using performance enhancing drugs. Aldo on the other hand, was also involved in a drug testing fiasco that had them call the cops on a tester in Brazil.
