McGregor says he “can’t wait” to return to MMA soon after the controversy

The Irishman attended the fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia

After a long soap opera with UFC anti-doping, Conor McGregor can finally say he is ready to return. According to sources, the fighter has already returned to take part in tests to detect illegal substances in MMA, and already has a date in mind for his return.

Present in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) to watch the fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury last Saturday (28), the Irishman spoke to the press and declared that his return to fighting could take place in April 2024. Precisely the date in which it is considered as that of UFC 300

– It will be in April. They say it will be in April and I’m happy about that. I wish it would happen sooner, but I have to be, if I can be realistic, with my fans. I want to go in a good direction, just recover. It feels like April – McGregor said according to MMAFighting.

The possibility of ‘Notorious’ return came after a long public clash with USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency), which resulted in the split with Ultimate in December. A situation which, even with the injury that left him out of the octagon for more than a year, left him, according to him, “frustrated” and anxiously awaiting his return, perhaps facing his rival from “The Ultimate Fighter” Michael Chandler.

– Leave me away from work for three years. But I understand, I went through what I had to go through. I have experienced a defeat and an injury, imagine what this can mean for someone. I need to go back to living the way I lived before. This is my job. This is very frustrating and I hope to be back in April. I just want a date. That’s all – commented the fighter.
