USADA issues statement about McGregor
“Once UFC athletes are enrolled in the testing program, they are subject to testing,” the statement about McGregor read. “Even when not competing unless they notify the UFC of their retirement, their contract is terminated, or they are otherwise removed from the program. In the event of an athlete’s return to the UFC, they are required to remain in the USADA testing pool for six months before they are permitted to compete.

“Similar to World Anti-Doping Agency rules, the UFC may grant an exemption to the six-month written notice rule in exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair to the athlete, but in both cases under the UFC rules, the athlete must provide at least two negative samples before returning to competition,” the statement about McGregor concluded.


He's free to return in February, I bet he'll take on Tony Ferguson for his return fight

He seemed like a great coach as well, another Mike Brown

He just fully retired to coach full time in August of this year. Everyone will be leaving his gym immediately I would assume
