Conor McGregor has been teasing his fans by dropping hints about a potential return date. ‘The Notorious’ has come out and shown his interest in a particular weight class or a particular opponent. However, none of it seemed like a possibility for the near future.

Nonetheless, McGregor has finally come out and hinted at a return date. Moreover, he has also stated that the USADA will approve him to fight in February, next year. Meanwhile, this news left all the McGregor fans excited. 

However, the question still remains: how will he make a comeback so early?

How will Conor McGregor be clear for testing so soon?

The Irishman recently came out and revealed that he’s making a comeback. He also mentioned re-entering the USADA pool. Moreover, he also suggested that the commission will clear him by February. He wrote, “I am clear for testing in February. I will complete my two tests per USADA and we are booking a fight.”

Meanwhile, the UFC president, Dana White, came out and said that McGregor will be in the testing pool for at least six months before USADA clears him to fight. However, USADA came out and told that McGregor will in fact be cleared by February. The commission came and gave out a statement regarding the same.
