Conor McGregor ‘Not Surprised’ after hearing of Usman Nurmagomedov’s failed drug test scandel

Conor McGregor was not surprised after he learned about one of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s pupils failing a recent drug test after a title fight at Bellator 300.

The 17-0 prospect Usman Nurmagomedov who reigns as Bellator’s lightweight champion was suspended on Saturday, November 11th for failing a drug test. Nurmagomedov received a six-month suspension and was ordered to pay a fine, while his victory over Brent Primus at Bellator 300 was also overturned to an official ‘No Contest.

This type of news about a fighter is very polarizing. Some fans will never look at a fighter the same, and that fighter will always be branded as a cheater in their eyes.
