If Conor McGregor thinks his road back to the UFC will come with special privileges, he may have another thing coming.
McGregor, 34, has not fought since a broken leg in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
The MMA world learned at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi in October that McGregor no longer is in the drug testing pool with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the UFC’s drug-testing partner. Standard protocol is that fighters who leave the testing pool must be back in it for six months before they can fight again.
