Conor McGregor is finally set to return to the octagon later this year. The Irishman was previously seen in action against Dustin Poirier back in 2021 in a trilogy.
In that fight, McGregor suffered a nasty leg injury, which kept him out of action. Since then, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding the Irishman’s return, and at one point, it looked like he would never return to the UFC again.
However, that is not the case, and Conor McGregor will return at UFC 303 and fight Michael Chandler in the main event of the card. Ahead of the fight, a rather exciting revelation has come to light.
It has been revealed that McGregor is the most-tested fighter for banned substances in the UFC in 2024. Ahead of his fight, he has already been drug tested seven times.

“He’s looking super slick… I said this from the start, I see similarities to the Mendes fight. I’d be surprised if it can go two rounds. [McGregor] hits too hard, he’s too sharp. Is there going to be scrappiness and a few takedowns and stuff? Maybe But every round starts on the feet and his ability to get back there is underestimated.”

That said, it will be interesting to see how the fight between Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler plays out on June 29th.
