The U.S. anti-doping agency USADA has released a statement regarding the return of former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor to the pool of tested athletes.
USADA statement
We have recently been in direct contact with Conor McGregor, and as he confirmed today in the media, we expect to receive his paperwork coming out of retirement and re-entering the USADA testing pool immediately. Like other athletes who come out of retirement, under the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, McGregor will be subject to testing for at least six months and must provide at least two negative samples before being permitted to compete.
McGregor last entered the Octagon against American Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264. In that fight, Conor was defeated by TKO as a result of a broken leg.
McGregor had his UFC debut against Marcus Brimage in April 2013. Conor won that fight by TKO in the first round. He has 22 wins and six losses under his belt.
