Conor McGregor is done with his TUF duties and ready to return to action. However, his situation with USADA remains a huge hurdle. The former two-division UFC champion has to give two clean tests and spend six months in the testing pool to be eligible to compete. McGregor is trying to get an exemption for the six-month rule but has been unsuccessful so far. His frustration boiled over as he recently went off on USADA in a deleted Twitter rant.

Amidst all this, other fighters are also raising their voice against any special treatment for McGregor. A most recent criticism regarding the same came from #4 ranked lightweight contender Beneil Dariush.

In a recent interview he gave to ‘The Schmo,’ Dariush went off on McGregor and outright accused him of cheating. It appears McGregor has come across Dariush’s criticism because the Irishman took a dig at the 33-year-old in a recent tweet.

Conor McGregor took to Twitter to send a message to Beneil Dariush following the cheating accusations. The 34-year-old kept his message short, and wrote, “beneil “the douche” dariush.” 

It seemed like the Irishman was having fun while taking a swipe at Darish. He responded to a fan with a laughing emoji, who jokingly asked if anyone read McGregor’s tweet in Bruce Buffer’s voice.

Furthermore, the Irishman recently shared a clip of him sparring during TUF filming on his Instagram. In the caption, McGregor wrote about his love for fighting and his time filming TUF 31.

In the clip he shared, Conor McGregor looked to be in great spirits in his coaching role. ‘The Notorious’ was giving a motivational talk to his sparring partner, all the while catching him with some clean shots.

In a video later shared by ‘The Mac Life’, we can hear what McGregor was saying to his student. He said, “Find comfort in it. You know what I was doing? I had a cut on me nose in the Cerrone camp. I had to wear this bar across my nose.”

McGregor continued, “I couldn’t even see. I was sparring five different bodies that were coming in fresh with no vision. Use your periphery. You can do it blindfolded.”

Fans in the comments under the post shared their excitement at seeing ‘motivated McGregor’ back. Many of them were confident of him beating Chandler in the return fight.

However, all that can happen only if McGregor resolves the USADA situation first. What are your thoughts on it? And what do you make of his response to Dariush?
