The UFC is supporting featherweight champion Jose Aldo following this week’s controversial drug test ahead of his 145-pound title defense against Conor McGregor at UFC 189, on July 11.
On Thursday morning, Drug Free Sport director Ben Mosier visited Nova Uniao for a random drug test, but the urine sample was discarded when the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) and the Brazilian federal police learned that Mosier didn’t have the proper visa to work in Brazil.
Aldo, who agreed to undergo the test Thursday, was drug tested again on Friday, this time by a Brazilian tester affiliated by WADA.
