RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Conor McGregor was in attendance to watch Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou box Saturday – and his competitive juices were flowing.
Recently readmitted into the UFC drug-testing pool, McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) will be eligible to return to competition in April. A fired-up and frustrated McGregor indicated there will be no wasted time after that.
“I’m happy with April,” McGregor told MMA Junkie and other reporters on the event’s red carpet. “I would’ve loved it earlier, but if I’m to be honest and be realistic, for my fans, I want to put in a good run, build myself back, and that’s it. It’s looking like April, mixed martial arts.”
