Conor McGregor told how he can ensure he is eligible to fight Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor must provide drug tests for six months before he is eligible to face UFC rival Michael Chandler.

The Irishman will finally make his UFC comeback this year after president Dana White announced 'The Notorious' would meet Chandler as part of the promotion's reality series The Ultimate Fighter. Both fighters will coach a team as opposition in a tournament before meeting in a showdown at the end of the programme, but a date and venue is yet to be officially confirmed.

White's reluctancy commit to a date could be largely down to McGregor's confirmed absence from the USADA drug testing pool which fighters are required to be enrolled in for competition. Having already established that the 34-year-old is not currently enrolled, the organisation have since explained the rules to which he must abide.
