BREAKING: Conor McGregor Steps in USADA Pool for Possible UFC 300 Return Against Michael Chandler – “Submitted My Stuff to Novitzky”

Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC octagon has remained uncertain since his devastating leg injury in his last bout against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. This injury not only sidelined him but also prevented him from participating in the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing pool, a mandatory requirement for fighters aiming to compete.

However, recent developments suggest that there might be light at the end of the tunnel for McGregor and his eager fanbase!

Conor McGregor is ready to make his return

Originally scheduled to face Michael Chandler at the conclusion of this year’s “The Ultimate Fighter Season” (TUF), McGregor’s absence from the testing pool led to the cancellation of the much-anticipated fight. Nevertheless, a recent Instagram post by McGregor has provided fans with a glimmer of hope. McGregor confirmed that he has submitted samples for testing to USADA, indicating his intent to return to the Octagon in the near future.

In his Instagram post, McGregor’s words were clear and unwavering, “Find my targets. Hit them. F**k the consequences. You’re going down. This is fighting. Sparring day with slick @grozdevnikolay. Always a banger of a spar with the slick fella. Submitted my stuff to Novitzky. Ball rolling ⚽️ See you soon, you little light work b**ch.”

According to McGregor’s statements, there is a possibility that he could make his comeback at UFC 300, as the testing protocols will likely have cleared him by then. Michael Chandler, McGregor’s intended opponent, also expressed optimism about the fight’s occurrence at UFC 300 in a recent interview.

McGregor’s rough road to UFC return

Conor McGregor has faced significant challenges on his journey to regain his previous form. Following his leg break in the Dustin Poirier fight, he underwent major surgery that resulted in the insertion of a titanium rod into his leg.

During an interview with Barstool Sports, McGregor emphasized the quality of the surgeons and doctors who contributed to his successful recovery. He stated, “I had the best surgeons, doctors and I got it back thank god and I am already back better than ever. I’m excited to be back, and the bionic knee and I have been dropping the guys with the back shot, I have been dropping them all.”

However, his appearance on the latest season of TUF 31 (The Ultimate Fighter) ended in disappointment, as his team suffered defeats in all their matchups against Team Chandler.

McGregor is determined to revive his form after enduring losses in three of his last four UFC fights. An interesting aspect of his recovery has been his weight gain, suggesting the possibility of a return to the 170lb weight class. Notably, McGregor’s most recent victory occurred at 170lb against Donald Cerrone in 2020. This potential move could play a crucial role in rejuvenating his MMA career.
