Conor McGregor on UFC return: ‘They’re not going to let me fight’



McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in a second straight loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. The Irishman, 35, is absent from the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool, and in order to compete, fighters must: be in the pool for six months; return two negative test results; and return zero positives.

As such, McGregor is not eligible to fight until February 2024, unless he is granted an exemption.

“But anyway, I hold the power, and I’m going to keep doing my thing,” he continued. “I’m in a great spot, and I’ll see you all soon. F***ing early next year, hopefully.

“I’m ready, 16 December, I’m ready. Anyone who wants to go […] I’m being kept from my livelihood here.”
