Conor McGregor edges closer to UFC return, hints at USADA compliance: ‘Submitted my stuff to Novitsky, ball rolling’

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor claims the “ball is rolling” on his expected return to the Octagon against Michael Chandler next year, detailing how he has finally submitted his “stuff” in relation to compliance with anti-doping agency, USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency).

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the UFC’s banner, has yet to be tested by the anti-doping agency since the third quarter of 2021, sidelined through a fractured left tibia and fibula suffered in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July of that year.
