Expected to make his return to the UFC next year amid his return to the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) testing pool at the end of last month, former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor has issued a warning to promotional rivals.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, suffering a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat against former interim champion, Dustin Poirier in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.
In the time since, McGregor returned as an opposing coach on The Ultimate Fighter 31 earlier this year, squaring off with former lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler – ahead of an expected welterweight fight in the future.
