UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush has argued Conor McGregor is "cheating" as he continues working towards his octagon return later this year after a two-year absence.
The legendary former two-weight world champion broke his leg against Dustin Poirier in the pair's trilogy fight back in July of 2021, and has spent the last two years recovering from the gruesome injury. He has returned to training, and recently filmed a new season of The Ultimate Fighter that will tie in to the promotion of his comeback.
But one piece of the puzzle that is holding McGregor back is his lack of USADA testing for banned substances, which has seen him removed from their pool of athletes. It is required that fighters complete six months and two tests in the pool before they may return to competition, but the Irishman appears to believe he will be granted an exemption.
