Conor McGregor drops huge hint UFC return is close as he shows off drug test on his yacht
CONOR McGREGOR has dropped the biggest hint yet that he is ready for a UFC comeback - by showing off drug testing on his yacht. UFC stars are required to return six months of clean doping tests before they are eligible to make a return to the octagon. 7 7 7 And McGregor appears to have kickstarted the process after uploading pictures online of the testing process. The Irishman - still sporting a bizarre mohawk haircut - had blood taken from his shoulder and urine collected. Quoting Will Ferrell's 2006 Talladega Nights character Ricky Bobby, McGregor wrote: "I p*** excellence." McGregor has not fought since July 2021 - when he brutally broke his leg against Dustin Poirier. A toe injury last June also forced McGregor out of his proposed comeback bout against Michael Chandler in Las Vegas. The former two-weight UFC champion wants to fight on the UFC's proposed event on the grounds of the White House. It comes after US President Donald Trump announced crazy plans to host a fight card at the Oval Office. But McGregor has been clouded by a string of controversies outside of the cage. The Sun first reported how the multimillionaire fighter was caught appearing to kiss a mystery woman on a beach in Florida. Just days later, McGregor was spotted with the same woman enjoying a meal in Fort Lauderdale. To make matters worse, American rapper Azealia Banks accused McGregor of sending her unsolicited nude photos. The alleged naked pictures were then posted online - and later deleted - by the New York performer. McGregor responded by whisking his finacee Dee Devlin away to Sardinia to celebrate his birthday amid the controversy surrounding him. In December, the mulitimillionaire fighter was found liable for assault in a civil case against him dating back to 2018. The court heard how the professional fighter was said to have "brutally raped and battered" Nikita Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel. McGregor - who was ordered to pay Ms Hand about £206,000 in damages and pay her legal costs - has since sought an appeal. 7 McGregor also punched a man in an Ibiza nightclub in June - with The Sun capturing the shocking moment. But the man - who works for Wayne Lineker - did not press charges. While away with his fiancee and four kids - Conor Jr, eight, Croia, six, Rian four and Mack, one - McGregor's pub was the target of an arson attack. Detectives believe a person doused the Black Forge Inn with a "flammable liquid" at 3am. It's understood the suspect used a flammable liquid at the front of the premises before setting it on fire and then fleeing the scene. Gardai are examining CCTV from the area in a bid to identify the suspect. It's the second time McGregor's pub has been targeted in an arson attack. In 2022, a petrol bomb was thrown at the bar but it failed to ignite. 7 7
