The two boys aren't pulling any punches on this tour

So far we have had serious staredowns, jabs about table tennis and some taunting through a window but now things are getting nasty on the Conor McGregor/Jose Aldo World Tour. Last night, in LA, both fighters threw doping accusations around, and we suspect this isn't the last we'll hear of this either. When asked if he thought Aldo had used PEDs in the past by MMA Junkie, McGregor replied: “It seems to me like maybe it’s Brazilian culture – the women are on it, the men are on it; I don’t know what to think. I don’t have to think. (The fight) is in Vegas. We’re in a new age. The sport is being cleaned.” Of course, when it was Aldo's turn in front of the camera, he was asked to respond. “He’s the one that’s taking substances,” Aldo replied, via a translator. “There’s no surprise why he fights in this weight class. In his country, they don’t even have a commission to put rules on it. Something that I’m going to do, I’m going to ask for doping tests to be given (to McGregor) every single week, and I’m here to be tested to prove that (I’m clean).” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENo_xWE1Glw
