Shots fired!

If you thought Jose Aldo wasn’t going to let Conor McGregor get to him in the run up to their UFC superfight, you’d be wrong.

Jose Aldo was randomly tested in Brazil on Wednesday night and used the opportunity to have a pop, or two, at Conor McGregor.

The Notorious has called Aldo out in the past over drug testing and was caught on camera, after he beat Chad Mendes at UFC 189, calling the featherweight champion ‘a juicehead p*ssy’.

Aldo was drug tested by USADA at his gym in Rio de Janeiro, and asked promptly asked the agency to test McGregor too.

While this may be a playful jab by the Brazilian, it is another sign that McGregor is nor far from his mind.

Indeed, Andre Pederneiras (Aldo’s coach and manager) has already told FOX Sports that no other fighter has gotten into his man’s head as much as the Irishman.

‘The only fighter who I remember provoking Aldo was Manvel Gamburyan, who spent the fight week trying to intimidate him,’ he said.
