The UFC has announced a partnership with Drug Free Sport International for their anti-doping program, following the departure of USADA. This move comes after Hunter Campbell, a representative of the UFC, criticized USADA's treatment of Conor McGregor, stating that they have tried to impose their will on the organization. The UFC aims to develop a program that is even better than USADA's. The new program will be overseen by George Piro, a former FBI agent known for leading the interrogation of Saddam Hussein. The UFC has threatened USADA with legal action and demands an apology over what they consider 'disgusting' claims made about McGregor.
