Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, we are back with some breaking news

(00:02):
out of the UFC today, as Connor McGregor has been
suspended for eighteen months for a whereabouts violation not just one,
but three times from what's called the Combat Sports Anti
Doping Agency. No longer is the UFC with you, SADA,
It's the Combat Sports Anti Doping Agency. And this is
major news, but not for the reasons you think, what

(00:23):
do I mean the breakdown? Let's go all right, So
this hit the airwaves about thirty minutes ago from Carlos
Contreras Legaspi, a writer for ESPN Deportes. He broke the
news that Connor McGregor has accepted an eighteen month period
of ineligibility for a violation of the UFC anti doping policy.

(00:47):
Gregor failed to provide accurate whereabouts on June thirteenth, September nineteenth,
and September twentieth, twenty twenty four for test collection. He
will be able or excuse me, eligible to compete on
March twentieth, twenty twenty six. All right, so number one,
what does this mean? Well, Connor McGregor, secretly, over the
last year and some change, has been serving Anti Doping

(01:10):
Agency suspension. I don't know if he knew about this,
and it wasn't public yet. This is only public for
the first time for our eyes. Is this something that
Connor has known for a while, because there's been a
lot of talk about his return. Potentially he kind of
pipes up and says he's training again and then he stops,
or he's training behind the scenes, but hasn't given a
full answer. Also, he's been talking about the UFC White House.

(01:33):
Arieljwane reported yesterday on his show that Connor McGregor had
not come onto his show for reasons that they would
kind of leave open ended. He essentially he's like, I
didn't he didn't cancel on me. We just thought it
was best not to have him on the show yet.
And this was yesterday he addressed that, so it must
have been on his show last week. Connor did go
on Fox News and say it's ready, Sewing sealed in

(01:54):
to live at the White House and now Mac's back,
which meant nothing because Dana then came out and was like, yeah, no,
we haven't negotiated with any fighters for the UFC White
House card. But with all that speculation, this tells me
that Connor probably knew already before we did, and has
been quietly serving his suspension now with about six months
until the UFC's White House Card and being retroactively given

(02:18):
this suspension, Connor has been serving essentially since September twenty first,
I assumed twenty twenty four, which would make him eligible
in March twenty twenty twenty six. So Connor could still
fight at the White House car and that's fine, But
there is some interesting parts of this that make me
a little bit skeptical as to what happened here. If

(02:39):
it was just a whereabouts missed Because Connor is all
over the world on his lambaghini yl right flying here boat,
traveling there different islands every day every week, I got
some questions. So let's take a look at the article
that was written here about this and see if there's
any details that I'm missing. The Combat Sports Anti Doping
announced today Connor McGregor of dueblenoile and except an eighteen

(03:00):
month period of ineligibility for a violation of the UFC
Anti Doping policy. McGregor missed three attempted biological sample collections
within a twelve month period in twenty twenty four, which
constitutes a violation of UFCADP. UFC athletes are required to
provide accurate whereabouts information at all times so they can
get contacted and submit to biological sample collections without prior warning.

(03:25):
McGregor's miss tests occurred on June thirteenth, September nineteenth, and
September twentieth, twenty twenty four, and were each classified as
a whereabouts failures by SNAD or the Combat Sports Antidoping
under the UFCADP. Although McGregor failed to make himself available
for testing on those dates, SNAD noted that he was

(03:45):
recovering from an injury and was not preparing for an
upcoming fight at the time of the three miss tests.
Really quick, want to make a point here, that's true,
but it's very interesting these dates, especially the June thirteenth date,
because that just happens to be the day I think
before but reported on the day that Connor McGregor pulled
out of the Michael Chandler fight at UFC three to three. Remember,

(04:08):
at that point we had heard about his toe injury,
a potential broken toe, but there were very odd circumstances
surrounding number one. You know, there was an announced press
conference that was supposed to take place in Dublin, and
then it just didn't happen and we didn't really have
any answers for it, and rumors started to swirl that
potentially Connor was injured and was not gonna be able
to compete, but he missed the test the day they

(04:29):
or the day before they called the fight off. I'm
not saying, I'm just saying that is a little suspicious
as to what potentially was a reason for that. And
then a couple of months later in September nineteenth, September twentieth,
not really sure what to make of that. Connor, like
they said, wasn't preparing for a fight. Could that have
been something where he's on the mind and trying to
heal up and XYZ, Sure, but why wouldn't that make

(04:52):
him available for the test because he's injured? And how
is that an exception for anybody else who's injured, either
after a f before a fight, whatever else. And I
think everybody you know understands how strict formerly you SADA
and now combat sports anti doping is with keeping tabs
on everyone regardless of where you're at in the world,

(05:14):
and you having to keep tabs with them This seems
like the same way that you Saigna operated under the
UFC as well. But it's interesting Connor, the first one
he misses was an in camp test because they were
in camp UFC three to zero three, right around the
corner Connor and Michael Chandler about to go do their
press conference, and Connor pulls out and either misses the

(05:34):
test after he pulls out, or misses the test and
then pulls out. I would love to know the timeline
on that because I think that's super important, and we're
not getting any details on that, but we continue. McGregor
fully cooperated with sea SADS investigation and accepted responsibility and
provide detailed information that se SAID can determined contributed to
the mistest. Despite the mitigating factors. SEA SAID emphasizes that

(05:57):
accurate whereabouts filings and the ability to con duct unannounced
testing are essential to the success of the UFC anti
doping policy. Taking McGregor's cooperation and circumstances into account, SEESAD
reduced the standard twenty four months sanction for three whereabouts
missings by six months. This period of eligibility began on
September twentieth, twenty twenty four. The date of his third

(06:21):
whereabouts failure and will conclude on March twentieth, twenty twenty six.
This is also very interesting information because I think, as
everybody knows, there was a parting of the see between
the UFC and USADA when it was the United States
Anti Doping Agency running the drug testing policy for the UFC,

(06:43):
and that was because at least partly USADA operates on
its own. It is a testing program on its own
that was hired by the UFC to conduct testing. I
could be wrong about this, but the Combat Sports Anti
Doping Agency or program doesn't. I don't know if that's
any different for the UFC, if that's something that is
controlled in the UFC or if that's something again that's

(07:03):
hired out. But I know, like we saw in certain
circumstances even with USADA, the timelines of when certain fighters
get suspended and then get lifted off suspension is we'll
just say a little bit skeptical, a little bit suspect,
because a regular fighter would have served a twenty four
month suspension and again they said he didn't because I

(07:23):
guess his cooperation in fully accepting the responsibility of it
and taking circumstances which I'm not sure what the circumstances
would be. They said he was injured. I didn't know
that was a circumstance for not testing. But had he
served the actual twenty four months, that would have given
him March April, May, June, July, August September of twenty

(07:44):
twenty six, a full two years after the twenty twenty
four double miss in September, So that wouldn't have allowed
Connor McGregor to fight on a potential White House card.
Dana has said they've made no actual bouts yet for
the card. He said that no one's been scheduled. He
said there's talks between certain people like a Connor McGregor,

(08:05):
and there hasn't been anything concrete. But that tells me
if there is anything going on behind the scenes, that
this just so happens to make Connor McGregor available, or
the White House car just so happens, it perfectly lines
up to where three months after is March twentieth reinsertion,
he is able to hit the ground running with some training.
Now again, I'm not saying anything funky is happening here.

(08:27):
I'm just saying it is very interesting. Something else that's
interesting to me is if you guys remember back a
couple of months ago, Connor McGregor supposedly re entered the
testing protocol or the testing pool towards the comeback to
the UFC White House event. This was on I think
July fifteenth, and that's starting to make me go, hold

(08:48):
on a second, how is this all working? Because if
Connor McGregor re entered the UFC's drug testing pool on
July fifteenth of twenty twenty five, but was already supposedly
serving a eighteen month from that time while he was
out of the testing pool, is that what I meant
to believe that those times that they weren't coming and
retesting him because he's out of the pool from September

(09:09):
twenty twenty four to July twenty twenty five, that counts
as a part of his suspension time or his sanctioning
time even though they weren't continuing to test him because
he's out of the pool. It's not like they chose
to not test him during that time period. It's just
that he's out of the pool. There's no point in
testing him. He's not able to be tested. So how
does that really starting? Things are not adding up here.
Don't again. I could be just tenfoil hat on this thing,

(09:32):
but it's just interesting. And even from the CBS article
where we see that the report of Connor McGregor officially
returning to the UFC drug testing pool, that only made
sense because we didn't think he was already sanctioned. So
how does it make sense now? There's another part of
this article where it says, however, the official UFC anti
doping website indicates that McGregor has completed his first test
this year. Gregor tested eleven times last year, mostly before

(09:54):
a planned fight with Michael Chandler at UFC three zero three.
You're pulled out of the fight with a broken peaky toe.
Former UFC champion, the two time excuse me two division
UFC champion hasn't fought since dusn't Porty beat him in
July twenty twenty one. Very very interesting stuff here. Number one,
the fact that the day he pulls out of the
Michael Chandler fight is the first day he misses his test,

(10:15):
or the day before he pulls out he misses it.
I can't remember the timeline there. Number two, the fact
that he gets six months off his two year sanction
for cooperation and circumstances. Circumstances we don't really know. Number three,
how he still is serving in eighteen months sanctioning whilst
not being in the pool for October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June,

(10:37):
nine months of that. I'm not really sure how that works.
He's not even in the pool. How can he be
serving a sanction. I know it's a competition sanction, but
still aren't isn't he supposed to remain in the pool
to serve that time? Anyway, this is some crazy stuff
and it's important for a lot of reasons. Number One,
it probably does confirm to us that Connor McGregor is
going to fight on the White House Guard. Maybe not

(10:58):
in all certain terms, but the way this is lining up,
the reason this is being announced or being written about, Now,
how this news came out, where it came from, I
think it all makes a little bit more sense because
this feels like they had to get ahead of it,
they had to speak about it before Connor started to
plan a return. And by the way, here's something else again,

(11:18):
tinfoil hat wade here. Connor McGregor yesterday hopped on Twitter
to say, hey folks online, I'm out of here for
a bit. See you again soon, my love, unwavering, thank
you all. A little convenient for anyone. The day before
this comes out, Connor's like, yeah, I'm off socials. Did
he know what was coming? Or is this all part
of the move to get Connor? Because we thought, okay,
this is gonna be refocused Connor. That's why he's getting
off social Connor. Maybe he had an obligation with Fox News,

(11:40):
That's why he didn't go on Ariel Hawane pro. Maybe
Ariel had this story. I was gonna ask Connor about
it again. Does it matter in the long run, No,
Connor will probably be back in time for the White House.
But it does make you ask some questions as to
what was going on around that Mike Chandler fight, because
I was the first guy that Connor. You know, if
he had an injury, this would be the first fight
he'd ever pulled out of, usually mister reliable, and maybe
he did have the injury. Something's not making sense here.

(12:02):
Timeline wise, things are off, but that's just my take.
Comment below what you guys think Connor McGregor suspended retroactively
up until the point of March twenty twenty six, eighteen
month suspension for failing his whereabouts requirements three separate times,
one of which was the day before he pulled out
of the Mike Chandler fight. And just so happens, it's

(12:22):
three months before the White House Card in which Connor
McGregor will be eligible, and I don't think that's a coincidence.
I think that means Connor McGregor will be fighting at
the White House. Don't have any answers on anything. I'm
just asking questions, what do you guys think? Let me know,
Connor McGregor be on the White House card, will he
be ready and will he be adhering to the UFC's
anti doping policy and making sure he clarifies his whereabouts

(12:47):
for tests. I don't have those answers, but I guess
we'll find out.
