Many people have been wondering about Conor McGregor making a return. It has been a long time since he has fought in the UFC. After the UFC 264 loss against Dustin Poirier, the fighter went through surgery and subsequent rest. However, he has recovered and has been training. As per several sources, he will make a comeback next year. Yet, according to rumors, he isn’t in USADA’s testing pool.
Retired UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen, in a recent video, discussed McGregor’s USADA status. He shared his thoughts on the fighter looking much bigger and whether he thought the Irishman was on performance-enhancing substances.

Sonnen said, “Conor McGregor is not on steroids. Conor McGregor is bloated, he’s full of water. He’s highly unlikely bench-pressing more now than he used to or doing more pull-ups. This isn’t muscle … he’s bloated.”
“He’s not training as much, he’s not getting that sweat out. His calories in versus calories out, but there’s nothing nefarious here with Conor.”
Additionally, he cautioned fans to not expect ‘The Notorious’ to appear in a sudden UFC fight. After all, it takes time for athletes to enter USADA’s pool and get tested before getting into the Octagon. Hence, he asked McGregor fans to not expect a last-minute matchup.
Chael Sonnen further said, “He is clean.”
