Conor McGregor has revealed that he is planning to return to the octagon this year - with UFC 296 on December 16 the likely date he is targeting.
The Notorious has not fought in two years since suffering a leg break in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier and has agreed to fight Michael Chandler in his next bout.
However, McGregor has yet to re-enter the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's testing program, which USADA have stated he will have to be in for six months before being eligible to fight.
