It has been over four years, and while fans and most popular MMA figures have given up, Conor McGregor insists that he’s going to come back to the UFC. The former double champion has been sharing training footage almost every month, and guess what? ‘The Notorious’ also claims to have entered the drug testing pool, and recently, the tests happened during a small vacation.
Conor McGregor is aiming to make his way back to the UFC when Dana White and Co. host the White House event next year. While it’s still early to say how the card shapes up, the Irishman seems to be really serious about fighting at the Oval Office’s campus after what he had to say on social media. Let’s see what McGregor had to say.

Conor McGregor gets drug-tested on his million-dollar yacht
As we all know, Conor McGregor likes to live the life of luxury, and his multi-million-dollar net worth has allowed him to do that. The UFC star has been frequently seen partying in nightclubs, often getting into altercations, and even riding on his Lamborghini yacht, priced around $3.5-4 million. And it appears that he was out vacationing on his yacht recently, with some important guests on board.
It appears that Conor McGregor bumped into the UFC drug testing team amid his ongoing testing period. Instead of giving his urine and blood samples in a hotel or at his residence, ‘The Notorious’ decided to invite the testing team members on his yacht. He shared a brief video clip of himself, along with one of the testers, getting ready to collect samples while in the middle of the sea.

Is McGregor’s comeback not happening in the UFC?
Well, Conor McGregor almost made it back inside the Octagon last year at UFC 303 if not for a toe injury he suffered in training. But as we’ve mentioned already, he’s keen on making it back inside the eight-sided cage. But his business partner and BKFC boss, David Feldman, during a recent presser, claimed that McGregor could make his BKFC debut either against Jeremy Stephens or Mike Perry before he returns to the UFC.
“We were supposed to have my partner, my friend Conor McGregor – he was going to be here today but couldn’t make it at the last minute,” said David Feldman. “He’s actually very focused, it’s the best McGregor I’ve ever seen. He’s training hard, and he’s focused because one of you two guys [Stephens and Perry] is probably his next fight.”
