Conor McGregor appears worse for wear as he re-creates iconic Wolf of Wall Street clip on his yacht, after revealing that USADA had come aboard and taken ‘blood and urine’ tests ahead of comeback fight

Conor McGregor has confirmed he submitted two tests to the US Anti-Doping Agency ahead of his UFC comeback, but bizarrely did so after sharing a strange video online.

McGregor, 35, has not been inside the Octagon since July 2021, when he suffered a loss to Dustin Poirier after breaking his leg during their fight at UFC 264.

Earlier this month, the ‘Notorious’ took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm that he had re-entered the USADA testing pool ahead of his highly anticipated return to the UFC.

Now the Irishman has given fans another update on his UFC comeback, confirming he submitted ‘blood and urine’ tests after USADA officials visited him on his yacht.

Take to X, McGregor wrote: “I was tested twice yesterday, within an hour of each other. Blood and urine.

‘In both cases, 3 samples of each were requested and provided. They came aboard my yacht. I welcomed them. I gave them a can of @ForgedStout and a @ProperWhiskey. Life is good’.

His post included a short video showing him relaxing on his yacht before zooming in on another boat in the distance, believed to be USADA’s.

McGregor didn’t stop there, though, and quickly followed up that post with a screenshot from the Wolf of Wall Street movie.

The scene McGregor decided to share is one in which protagonist Jordan Belfort is visited by FBI officials on his boat, before goading them with a huge wad of cash.

McGregor apparently took inspiration from that scene, as he shared another video taken aboard his yacht just minutes later in which he attempted to recreate that scene.

The caption for the second video simply read: “Caviar off my balls.” This is another reference to the film, where Belfort made a similar claim.

In the video, McGregor is seen sitting at a table on his yacht with a piece of paper in front of him – before someone wearing latex gloves removes it from the table.

Off-screen, a voice can then be heard thanking McGregor for his time, before the UFC star replies: “Thanks so much man. God bless. Bye’.

He then continues, “Heidi, come lick some caviar off my balls,” again referring to the movie.

The 35-year-old starts laughing into the camera before saying, “I think I could do that whole scene right now and just throw money at them.”

“Give me a pile of money, will you, and I’ll just say, ‘Look what I had here, a year’s wages! Enjoy the train ride home.’

In the final moments of the scene in Wolf of Wall Street, Belfort throws money at the FBI agents as they leave his yacht – which McGregor suggests is what he intended to do.

McGregor has been removed from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency pool since the third quarter of 2021 and must complete six months of random drug testing before being cleared to fight.

McGregor’s next fight will most likely be against rival TUF coach Michael Chandler, with each season’s coaches typically facing off at the end of the show.

And after months of anticipation, it looks like the ‘Notorious’ will finally be lined up to make his return to the octagon following confirmation of his entry into USADA’s testing pool.

Earlier this month, McGregor posted on X: ‘I’m back in the pool. I will do my stint at high altitude before the fight.

USADA also released a statement along these lines shortly afterwards: “We recently had direct contact with Conor McGregor. As he confirmed in the media today, we expect he will receive his paperwork once he retires and immediately reenters the USADA testing pool.

“Like other retiring athletes, McGregor will be tested for at least six months and must provide at least two negative samples before competing, according to the UFC’s anti-doping policy.

‘The purpose of this rule is to ensure that all athletes who have not been subject to a testing period are adequately tested for a reasonable period before starting competition, to ensure a level playing field for all athletes.’

Despite all this, McGregor is at the heart of a bitter dispute between the UFC and USADA.

Earlier this month, USADA confirmed that they will no longer oversee the UFC’s anti-doping program once their current contract expires at the end of 2023.

USADA CEO Travis Tygart confirmed the announcement in an official statement, along with news that McGregor had rejoined the drug testing pool after a long absence from the program.

Tygart claims this is largely due to the situation involving McGregor, who dropped out of the anti-doping program following his trilogy defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021.

After suffering a nasty leg break against ‘The Diamond’ in Las Vegas, McGregor has teased plans to re-enter the program and compete under the UFC banner. However, according to USADA rules, the Irishman would have to test for six months before being allowed to compete again.

“Despite a positive and productive meeting regarding a contract extension in May 2023, the UFC made an about-face and informed USADA on Monday, October 9 that it was heading in a different direction,” Tygart said.

“We are disappointed for UFC athletes, independent contractors who rely on our independent, global, gold-standard program to protect their rights to a clean, safe and fair Octagon.

“The UFC’s action jeopardizes the immense progress made in the sport under USADA’s leadership.

“The relationship between USADA and UFC became untenable given statements from UFC executives and others who questioned USADA’s principled position that McGregor should not fight without serving at least six months in the testing pool.”
