Conor McGregor yet to be drug-tested as fight with Michael Chandler plunged into doubt

UFC president Dana White has confirmed Conor McGregor has yet to re-enter the US Anti-Doping Agency testing pool ahead of his proposed comeback fight with Michael Chandler.

The legendary two-weight world champion stopped being tested while he was out for two years with a broken leg, and will reportedly need to spend six months in the pool for random testing before he can return. However, White is confident that the situation could change for McGregor and still feels the bout can happen in December.

McGregor told Mirror Fighting in May that the situation was "done", and USADA appeared to be ready for his return to the pool. But he now seems to be dragging his heels, which could force his fight with Chandler to be delayed even further despite the pair competing on The Ultimate Fighter earlier this year as coaches, which is already airing.
