Conor McGregor provides update on drug-testing status ahead of UFC return

Conor McGregor has an interview scheduled to discuss his return to the USADA drug testing pool ahead of his comeback fight.

The UFC superstar is set to finally make his octagon comeback this year when he takes on rival Michael Chandler as part of the latest instalment of The Ultimate Fighter. Doubts were raised over his comeback earlier this year when it was revealed McGregor is not currently enrolled in the USADA drug testing pool.

UFC president Dana White later confirmed fighters are required to be enrolled in the pool for at least six months prior to competing in the cage. It remains unclear if McGregor could exploit a loophole in the system to return to competition earlier, given he made a recovery from a broken leg.
