Conor Mcgregor‘s return is all set to grace the barren fields of UFC once again. The ‘Notorious’ has made it clear that he will be returning to UFC at any cost. Scheduled to return by the end of the year, his ultimate comeback was halted and delayed by USADA who wanted him to go through the drug testing process.
Now ‘Mystic Mac’ is expected to make his return around UFC 300. Michael Chandler and Dana White are also optimistic about McGregor’s comeback, and they have predicted that UFC 300 would be the perfect stage for his return. With McGregor entering drug testing, the rumors appear to hold true.

Conor McGregor last graced the UFC Octagon in a highly anticipated trilogy match against Dustin Poirier. The fight was expected to proceed smoothly; however, McGregor suffered a severe leg injury that forced the match to be stopped. Since that unfortunate incident, McGregor has been absent from the Octagon and it’s been approximately two years since McGregor has officially fought anywhere.
Earlier this year, McGregor took on the role of a coach for The Ultimate Fighter Season 31, opposite Michael Chandler. Traditionally, at the end of the season, coaches are expected to face off in a fight. However, McGregor’s plans were interrupted by USADA, which required him to enter the USADA testing pool before returning to the octagon. This delay has pushed back his anticipated comeback to UFC 300, scheduled for next year.
In his most recent escapade, McGregor has been hyperactive on his social media handle, ‘Notorious’ in his pursuit to build up the exhilaration around his return has been tweeted in a series of tweets. One of his tweets read ” Grab my shotgun, UFC 300.”
‘Mystic Mac’ has been sharing pictures of goats and captioning them with cryptic messages, stating that McGregor is one hundred percent sure he will be returning to the UFC next year. Another tweet by him reads: ” Picturing me running up in this motherf***r with a chainsaw , UFC 300 is mine !!!. This is sparta baby !”

These tweets were just the beginning of his series of cryptic tweets that indicate his inevitable return to the UFC. In another instance, McGregor has provided another hint that he will be making a comeback to the octagon. ‘Mystic Mac’ took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to post a tweet related to his return. He said, “Soon I return and fly thru the air in attack mode.”
However, things might go downhill for the former double champ since USADA is ending their partnership after a prolonged period of 8 years and they have kind of blamed McGregor behind the fiasco. UFC in this development has partnered with another drug testing facility.
