McGregor’s re-entry into USADA testing pool
The one fighter the UFC has missed more than any is undoubtedly Conor McGregor, who has not fought since his defeat to Dustin Poirier as he injured himself during that bout and has been training ever since.
The Irishman has made it clear that he will be returning to the octagon soon, but an official date has not been set for his return. There is now hope in the eyes of the fans, as Conor has now officially entered the USADA pool.
USADA has updated their athlete test results and it shows that Conor McGregor has submitted his first samples in over two years.

This does not mean a lot, but it does hint at the possibility of him returning to the octagon quicker than what was expected. UFC has also had problems with USADA recently, so Conor’s official entry into the pool is a sign of positivity for the fans for sure.
When do you think Conor is likely to return to the octagon, do let us know.
