The latest USADA update was published Wednesday evening with data reflective until August 22.
Athletes tested last week consisted of mostly the fighters on the UFC 202 card, the UFC 204 main event, and also other fighters who were present in Las Vegas last weekend.
Perhaps most notable in last week's release is the test completion by Nick Diaz who last Monday was involved in a bizarre situation where he appeared to initially refuse a USADA representative access to his hotel room to test him.

Diaz recorded everything on his Snapchat while it was all going down and for a brief period it appeared that Diaz had gone to bed with the USDA rep still awaiting entry.
After an hour or so, Diaz finally released a new 'Snap' showing the USADA rep in his hotel and collecting the sample. The sample has now been taken away for testing.

Also to be noted this week, Conor McGregor went back to the top of most tested fighters table with his two tests at UFC 202. He has now been tested 16 times.
Will Brooks and Ilir Latifi were also tested for the second time in just three weeks in advance of their fights coming up next month. It's rare for fighters to have two tests in such quick succession.
