Turning to X, Strickland chose to jest about the unfolding situation. He boldly predicted that once USADA concludes its association with the UFC, the entire roster of fighters might consider turning to performance-enhancing substances. With his signature humor, he turned to his followers, seeking suggestions, claiming he was relatively inexperienced regarding PEDs. However, Strickland later deleted his tweet.

The USADA announced in its recent statement that it will no longer renew its contract with the UFC and discontinue its services by January of 2024. To replace USADA, the UFC has created its own drug testing program. It will reportedly begin in January.
