During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, UFC veteran Brendan Schaub questioned whether the former featherweight champion might have been using performance-enhancing drugs in previous fights, and didn't when he fought McGregor.

Rogan subsequently recalled the story of Aldo's infamous pre-UFC 189 drug test that never made it to the laboratory. The official from the Nevada State Athletic Commission had no valid working visa, so Aldo's coach Andre Pederneiras called the Brazilian police and tried to get the testing crew removed from his gym. The test results were discarded later and never went public.

"The tried to test Aldo in camp, and Aldo's people had the cops pulled on these people, they wanted to get them kicked out of the country. They were trying to deport them out of the country," Rogan brought to mind, and added one more very interesting detail to the story. "Then when they finally did give them a urine sample, he tripped and spilled his piss. That's insane. I never tripped and spilled piss in my entire career, and I pissed in cups all the time."

Schaub took an even harder stance. While he made it clear none of the discussion should take from Aldo's accomplishments, he explained "you're batsh*t crazy if you don't think Jose Aldo's body looked different. You're batsh*t crazy if you think he's gonna fight the same. [...] His camp, I think, is 1-7, 0-8 since this drug testing came out. So you're talking about a different fighter man."

Leaked audio ahead of the UFC 194 main event showed that Rogan referred to Aldo as "soft, deflated, and nervous" during Buffer's pre-fight announcement.

"He looks way different," Rogan said in the audio clip that originally was not intended for public consumption. "But it could be that he's done a lot of cardio. Don't want to jump to conclusions."

Jose Aldo was unbeaten for ten years going into the fight against McGregor at UFC 194 but surrendered his title in 13 seconds.
