The MMA universe has embraced the fact that Conor McGregor is no longer an active contender in the UFC. But is he really retired? Or is it just another big lay off before he registers a stellar return to the cage?

Well, it seems so, since McGregor has been tested by USADA once again. And the ‘Notorious’ didn’t seem happy about it.

Although McGregor is currently a part of Princess Charlene’s water sport, USADA did not hesitate to give him a surprise. The Irishman broke the news on his official social media handle.

The news will definitely excite MMA fans, knowing that one of the biggest stars in the UFC is still in the drug testing pool. Besides that, the UFC is still to get over ‘Mystic-Mac,’ as the Irishman boasts a standing in the current pound-for-pound rankings.

Conor McGregor claims to be a natty

Well, McGregor vowed to have consumed everything natural and allowed USADA to test him. However, in the tweet, McGregor asked the UFC about the things going on around him.

This can be a green signal for the Irishman’s re-entry inside the cage. However, Conor McGregor has clearly mentioned his retirement in the tweet. That said, the first UFC champ-champ has abandoned his retirement a couple of times in the past. He can possibly repeat that by 2021.

After making a sensational return against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, McGregor wanted to take up two more fights in 2020. However, COVID-19 hurdles and other issues have thrown McGregor off his game. Nevertheless, it did not stop him from calling out fighters.

Despite retiring from the sport, McGregor has teased a string of matchups against some modern-day superstars. His USADA testing can be a positive factor for his fans as UFC administrators and Dana White are yet to remove McGregor from the testing pool.

What do you think? Is Conor McGregor keeping the door open for a return?
