"Surprise surprise mtfk the king is back" - Conor McGregor is back in the USADA pool, per his Twitter, fans excited

After a long back-and-forth, Conor McGregor has finally re-entered the USADA drug-testing pool ahead of his highly anticipated octagon return. Fans have been waiting for the Irishman's comeback ever since the injury he suffered in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier left him sidelined for two years.

Earlier this year, the UFC announced that 'The Notorious' would be welcomed back into the fold by Michael Chandler. Unfortunately, there was no official fight date given, and hurdles with USADA, along with his celebrity lifestyle, caused fans to wonder if he would ever fight again.
