Conor McGregor's potential return to the octagon: Manager provides update

Fans eagerly awaiting Conor McGregor's comeback to the UFC may have to exercise some patience. The former double champ has been on the sidelines for two years, recovering from a broken leg suffered during his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

Despite showing signs of recovery, Conor McGregor's treatment kept him out of the USADA testing pool. He missed the deadline to rejoin the pool, leading to doubts about a potential return in 2023.

However, the Irishman's longtime manager, Audie Attar, shed some light on the situation. Attar emphasized that 'The Notorious' was previously one of the most tested athletes during his active competition days. He added that the team is currently following the right protocols and having active discussions with the UFC and USADA.

Although Attar did not disclose specific details, he hinted at a potential comeback for the Irishman in 2024 in an interview with MMA Junkie's Farah Hannoun:

"One of the things everybody forgets, Conor McGregor was the most tested athlete when he was competing. And we're going about things the right way. We're in active discussions with the UFC, we've spoken to USADA, we're gonna do things the right way. That's all I will say about that... But certainly he is looking for a comeback in 2024."
