WATCH: Conor McGregor’s cameraman captures USADA showing up to test ‘The Notorious’

It's thorough

The benefit of having a camera crew following a fighter around is that the usually unseen elements of his or her life can be shown to the masses.

Conor McGregor has recently acquiesced to having the ins and outs of his life documented by a cameraman for his new website, TheMacLife.com.

Whether it’s training or shopping or just chilling out at at his Las Vegas mansion in preparation for UFC 202, (almost) everything is now caught on tape.

Most recently, it was a drug test from the United States Anti-Doping Agency that was captured by the probing lens.

With the recent failed tests of high-profile fighters like Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar and Chad Mendes, even casual fans are now interested in what goes into the process of drug-testing some of the biggest superstars in mixed martial arts.

Last week, McGregor was overtaken by Holly Holm as the most tested UFC fighter of the USADA era but judging by the caption that goes along with the above clip, McGregor has regained that status as he seemingly underwent his second random drug test in two days.

It goes without saying that he does not appear worried.
