USADA faces backlash from UFC 287 combatant Jorge Masvidal and Joe Rogan for alleged discrimination between fighters
Joe Rogan and Jorge Masvidal ripped into the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for their practices and inconsistency.
Jorge Masvidal came on as a guest on one of the most recent episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience. While on the podcast, the pair spoke about a range of topics from everything MMA to USADA. Both Rogan and Masvidal seemed to share a common hatred for USADA and they spoke about why they think the organization is unfair and inconsistent. 'Gamebred' stated:
"Just like make it even playing field for everybody. Like, it's just like USADA oversees the Americans a lot harder than a lot of these other countries that they can't even get into. So it's just like, make it fair for everybody. If I'm getting tested twenty times a year, so and so should also be getting tested twenty times a year."
Masvidal added:
"On a Sunday, they came, I wanted to let my f***ing dogs loose on them."
Joe Rogan also pointed out how the USADA tests fighters like Alexander Volkanovski at the most random times, like 6 am during fight camp which completely ruins a fighter's recovery and sleep schedule. Rogan believes USADA should test them whenever they want, but ruining a fighter's sleep is totally uncalled for.

Jorge Masvidal tells Joe Rogan about his conflict with 'b***h' Colby Covington
It is no secret that Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington have one of the biggest rivalries in the MMA world. The former training partners and self-proclaimed brothers became each other's biggest enemies, and ended up fighting each other in the octagon. Even after their fight, they were involved in an altercation in Miami, for which Masvidal was arrested.
In the same podcast with Joe Rogan, he spoke about their conflict:
"He's a b***h bro and he showed his true colors for the money, for the pay-per-view. He'd talk about my kids, my family, to maybe sell extra pay-per-views? Not friends, I was f***ing his everything, his mentor.....He had nowhere to live so he asked if he could crash at my couch and I was like, yeah f**k it bro we're both on this journey together."
However, their relationship soured and their brotherly love turned into pure hatred for each other. Covington managed to beat Masvidal when they fought each other, and their feud is still ongoing.
