5. Eddie Alvarez
You might start to notice a trend of UFC 205 fighters being those who are tested more frequently.
Eddie Alvarez, who earlier this year knocked out Raphael Dos Anjos to become the UFC lightweight champion, has been tested 11 times by USADA this year. He is 1 of 3 fighters tied for 3rd most tested.
Because of his inclusion at UFC 205, and USADA’s obsession with ruining huge fight cards, it makes sense that Alvarez would be included.
He sent out the following tweet once regarding his possible PED use:
One a thing is for sure , You will never see a positive test on my end , i barley like protein powder !!

His opponent at UFC 205, Conor McGregor, has been tested 3 less times than Alvarez has.
