Conor McGregor has been away from the octagon for some time now. He last fought Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, in July 2021. The fight ended in a Poirier victory as McGregor suffered a horrible leg injury and the fight was stopped. Fans have been waiting for his comeback since then. A recent tweet from ‘Mystic Mac’ has now sparked some hope for McGregor’s fans.

Conor McGregor needs to stay in the USADA testing pool for six months and undergo at least two tests before being eligible to fight in the UFC. The fighter’s tweet is a hint in that direction but has raised many questions too. The tweet has also raised suspicions from fans who felt that something was fishy about McGregor claiming that he would soon be ready for testing.

 McGregor fans are elated at the news. The much-awaited comeback may come in mid-2023 sometime if things fall in place.
