Conor McGregor confirms comeback date as he declares drug testing issues 'done'

Conor McGregor has claimed that his issues with entering the US Anti-Doping Agency pool are "done", and insists that he is ready to go for his fight with Michael Chandler.

The legendary two-weight UFC champion has been out of action for what will be over two years, and temporarily left the USADA testing pool which is mandatory for all fighters in the promotion. In order to return, he must post two negative tests as well as being available for random spot checks over a six month period, with regular updates of his location on a fighter app.

But speaking with Mirror Fighting today, the Irishman confirmed that he will be announcing the date of his return bout during the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, where he coached against Chandler. It will be his first fight since July of 2021, when he suffered a gruesome broken leg in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier.
