The Irishman could seek an exemption from the mandatory six-month testing window that USADA has in place for testing athletes. Brock Lesnar received such clearance in July of 2016 to compete at UFC 200.

Meanwhile, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White has redirected all questions regarding McGregor’s situation to UFC Senior Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance, Jeff Novitzky.
McGregor (22-6), who keeps teasing a return to the Octagon, now claims to have taken things forward with Novitzky on Instagram:
