Two-division former "Ultimate Fighting Championship" (UFC) champion Conor McGregor has officially announced his return to the sport after being disqualified for violating anti-doping rules.
The fighter shared this information on his "Instagram" account.
"The rumors are true! Mr. Confident is back to save the fight," he wrote.
It should be noted that 37-year-old McGregor holds a record of 22-6 in mixed martial arts. He previously held the UFC championship belts in the lightweight division. In 2024, he failed three doping tests. McGregor's actions were considered a rule violation and he was disqualified for 18 months until March 20, 2026. The standard suspension for such a rule violation is two years, but McGregor's punishment was reduced due to a number of mitigating factors. //Oxu.Az
