Paulo Costa wants his UFC jacket after claiming 200 drug tests
Paulo
Costa claims he has been drug-tested around 200 times.

Arman
Tsarukyan, who is scheduled to fight Mauricio
Ruffy on Sept. 19, recently received a clean record jacket from
the
Ultimate Fighting Championship for 50 successful drug tests.
Costa subsequently took to social media to demand a jacket of his
own.

Paulo Costa reacts to Arman Tsarukyan's 50-test UFC
milestone

Reacting to a video of Tsarukyan receiving the milestone jacket,
Costa asked for his own, claiming to have been drug-tested 200
times.

“I keep asking where is my f*ck 200 tests Ugly jacket son of a
b*tchessssss,†Costa posted on X.

Costa is among the UFC's most tested athletes. While “Borrachinhaâ€
never tested positive for any banned substances, he accepted a
six-month suspension from the UFC's then-drug testing partner,
USADA, in 2019 for using an IV infusion to recover from a weight
cut. Costa has previously complained about drug testing authorities
turning up at his residence early in the morning while he was on a
tough weight cut. Costa’s frequent testing history gave him the
idea to come up with his “Secret Juice,†which has now turned into
a brand.

The Brazilian has one fight left on his UFC contract. He recently
campaigned for an interim light heavyweight title fight, and claims
the UFC wasn't interested and is repeatedly stalling his Octagon
return.

Court McGee at peace with UFC farewell: ‘OK is good enough for me’
Court
McGee is proud of his final
Ultimate Fighting Championship appearance.

McGee's final bout came against Eric Nolan
at UFC
332 on Oct. 3 in front of his home fans in Salt Lake City. He
suffered a third-round technical knockout loss after a hard-fought
battle and subsequently laid down his gloves inside the Octagon to
mark the end of his UFC career.

Court McGee reflects on his final UFC fight after 16 years in
the promotion

McGee released a statement addressing his retirement. He is proud
of his final UFC fight despite the loss. After 16 years in the UFC,
McGee said he finally took it all in leading up to his farewell
bout. “The Crusher†also paid tribute to 13 coaches and training
partners he lost along the way.

“Saturday night was my last fight in the UFC,†McGee posted on X.
“16 years. 29 fights, including my time in the Ultimate Fighter
house. One hell of a journey. I didn't get my hand raised, but I'm
incredibly proud of my performance, proud of my opponent, and
genuinely happy for him. For the first time, I was able to slow
down and truly experience it all—the weeks leading up to the fight,
fight week, the walk to the Octagon, and everyone who's been beside
me through the highs and lows. Including the 13 coaches and
training partners we've lost. RIP. I gave this sport everything I
had. Sometimes my best was great. Sometimes it was just okay.
Saturday night, I was okay—and okay is good enough for me. I'm
grateful for the wins, the losses, the lessons, the people, and
every damn moment in between. What a journey. Thank you.â€

McGee (22-15) won Season 11 of “The Ultimate Fighter†in 2010,
earning a UFC contract. He overcame addiction before beginning his
professional mixed martial arts career.

Dustin Poirier admits he helped teammate cheat scale to make weight
Dustin
Poirier will do whatever it takes to help his teammates.

Poirier recently recalled an incident in which he helped a teammate
make weight illegally. Poirier's friend was over the weight limit
for a fight in Mississippi, and the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship interim titleholder resorted to
manipulating the scale to help him.

Dustin Poirier details how he lifted an overweight teammate
during a Mississippi weigh-in

Fighters shed every bit of clothing and stand behind a towel when
they're close to the weight limit. Poirier stood behind the towel
with his teammate while everyone else was on the other side. “The
Diamond†claims he slightly lifted his friend so that he made
weight.

“One time one of my buddies was fighting in Mississippi,†Poirier
said on the “Deep Waters†podcast. “And they had the towel out, he
was naked, he was over [the weight limit]. I was behind the towel
with him. Everybody was in front. I grabbed a handful of hairy man
*ss cheeks and I lifted him up a little bit, got him on
weight.â€

Poirier (30-10) hung up his gloves after losing to Max
Holloway last year. He has since admitted that he misses
fighting and hasn't entirely ruled out a return.
