Conor McGregor is amidst a prolonged conversation with CEO Dana White on a return from injury. White recently revealed the ongoing talks ahead of the rumored UFC 300 return. McGregor has indicated a desire to return for UFC 300.

The fighter recently also submitted samples to the USADA testing pool. Previously, Health Performance VP Jeff Novitzky and the promotion litigator/Exec Hunter Campbell slammed USADA for using Conor McGregor to denote foul play. USADA has used this to propagate wrongdoing and cue their exit. On his latest Instagram update, Mcgregor wrote:

McGregor’s latest Instagram post shows him with a blood-draw capsule on his left shoulder. A prime reaction replied, “There might be some blood in your cocaine stream…be cautious.” The wordplay jibes at the fighter’s repertoire of cannabinoid delightments. The Irishman had submitted samples in October as well.

Since their 2015 tie-up, USADA’s anti-doping regimen has banned many combatants. These include  T.J. Dillashaw, Brock Lesnar,  Jon Jones, and Sean O’Malley. However, they have not caught McGregor’s foul play, and he has yet to test positive for banned substances.

For the “nth” number of times, Conor McGregor has hyped up fans with news of his return and subsequent USADA testing. This is ahead of USADA’s parting ways from the promotion in 2024. USADA CEO Travis Tygart recently nudged that UFC bending rules to favor McGregor was an “untenable situation.” They thus prompted their gradual exit. But McGregor would still be contractually bound and would undergo testing.
