Conor McGregor, the Eagle UFC fighter, was expected to come back to the octagon this year, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until 2024. He got hurt in a fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021, and that kept him away from the sport. People were excited about a possible match with Michael Chandler, especially after seeing him on “The Ultimate Fighter” show. But it turns out he hasn’t done the required tests for this year yet, according to the anti-doping agency.
There are rules that say fighters need to be tested for six months before a fight, unless the UFC makes an exception. McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar, said they’re talking to the testing agency and making sure they follow all the rules. McGregor used to be tested a lot when he was fighting regularly, and this time they want to do everything right.
Conor McGregor’s Return to UFC Likely Set for Early 2024
At first, they were thinking about a fight with Chandler, but they’re open to other opponents too. What’s important to them is to get ready properly and stick to the testing rules. Attar said they’re looking at early 2024 as the likely time for McGregor’s comeback.
While they’re not saying “no” to coming back later in 2023, it’s more likely that we’ll have to wait until 2024. This is because they want to make sure everything is safe and well-prepared. The UFC and McGregor’s team want to avoid any problems.
In the world of UFC, fans are excited and curious about McGregor’s return. Attar is making sure they follow all the rules for testing, and he’s leading the way. They want to make sure everything is right before McGregor steps back into the octagon. So, even though we might have to wait a bit longer, everyone is looking forward to seeing McGregor back in action.
McGregor won’t be back in the UFC until 2024 because of the tests he needs to do. Even though fans wanted him to come back this year, McGregor’s team is making sure they do everything the right way and follow the rules. It’s all about being safe and well-prepared for his big return.
