Conor McGregor could make a summer return

‘The Notorious’ was criticized for a while when he was not enlisted in USADA’s 6-month drug testing program. However, in the wake of the UFC’s new partnership with Drug Free Sport International, Conor McGregor seems to have become the most tested UFC athlete so far in 2024. He has had a total of fight drug testing sessions, and the Irishman has shared a message after this revelation came to light.

“Got tested again yesterday. All good in the hood,” Conor McGregor wrote in a story posted on his Instagram account. He’s indicated that the process is going smoothly and his summer return may not be as uncertain as some people think it to be. He’s mentioned having two fights left and wants to get in action as soon as he can.

Adin Ross gifts Sean O’Malley a lowrider

Sean O’Malley is at the peak of his popularity as the UFC bantamweight champion. Moreover, the UFC’s getting a lot of attention from influencers seems to have enabled him to make connections with a lot of them. One of those influencers is online streamer Adin Ross. To celebrate O’Malley’s redemption from his only MMA loss, the 23-year-old influencer decided to gift ‘Suga’ with a pink lowrider.

The bantamweight champion was thrilled to see the car and members of Adin Ross’s entourage demonstrated the lowrider’s hydraulics. However, the fun and laugh came to an end and Sean O’Malley went on to spar with the streamer, which did not look good for the latter. Nevertheless, it was a gesture that drew mixed reactions from fans on social media.

Dana White also has a gift for the UFC fighters

Fighters have often expressed their dissatisfaction with having to fight inside the UFC’s Apex. To get rid of that problem, Dana White and the UFC came up with a new ticketing policy. According to ‘MMA Junkie’, Hunter Campbell, the UFC’s Chief Business Offer, had informed the fighters and their teams through a notice about a new perk.

The fighters will be receiving four tickets for their family members and friends if they want to attend a Fight Night event in the Apex. This will take effect from UFC Fight Night 240 onwards, and the tickets will only be given to those fighters who will compete in the Apex whenever they are scheduled to fight. Now, we will have to wait and see how the fighters react to this news.
