McGregor insisted to fans that he has what it takes to beat Makhachev's style of fighting, as well as taking a shot at his pal Nurmagomedov.

UFC president Dana White has revealed Conor McGregor must return to the drug-testing pool for six months before he can compete again.

The only recent blemish on his record is a no-contest with Edwards when their fight was stopped due to an accidental eye poke. White confirmed this week he intends to match Chimaev with Colby Covington with the winner earning a title shot. McGregor recently confirmed he plans to return at 170lb after ballooning in weight during his lay-off. McGregor had also taken time out to film his first movie after landing a part in the remake of Road House alongside Jake Gyllenhall and it was later revealed he has not been drug tested since the third quarter of last year. McGregor has not won a fight in the UFC since he stopped Donald Cerrone inside 40 seconds of their welterweight clash almost three years ago. Khamzat Chimaev is likely to be among those clamouring for a fight against the winner if he remains in the division having failed to make weight for his fight with Nate Diaz in August.

The UFC's biggest star won't be eligible to compete in the UFC until he spends six months in the USADA drug testing pool.

“Nice fight, nice performance,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted tweet. If McGregor really wants to challenge Islam Makhachev, it’ll have to be after May 2023 at the earliest. Since McGregor isn’t competing, and needed top medical care to ensure his fight career could continue, it makes sense that he be allowed to step out of the program while going through rehab. It’s very possible he got a hall pass on account of his leg and is now taking every substance known to science in preparation for his ‘historic comeback.’ “Speaking of USADA, it appears on the database that Conor McGregor hasn’t been tested this year,” she said. A lot of treatments and rehabilitative programs would involve substances considered by USADA to be performance enhancing in a competition setting.
