Now McGregor must complete six months of clean testing before he is eligible to fight again.

It would line him up to headline UFC 300 but UFC president Dana White said “there is no date” for McGregor’s comeback yet.

But White said: “He is definitely chomping at the bit to fight again.”

McGregor, 35, is set to return against Michael Chandler, 37, after the pair coached on reality series The Ultimate Fighter.

And UFC legend Daniel Cormier predicted the blockbuster bout will land on the historic UFC 300 card.

He said on his ESPN show: “UFC 100 had Brock [Lesnar], right? With Georges St-Pierre and all those guys.  

“UFC 200 had Brock, it was supposed to me and [Jon] Jones also but it ended up being me, Anderson Silva, Brock, all these guys, big names.

“UFC 300 has to have a name like that. We don’t have Brock Lesnar anymore.

“So, I think you have to have a Conor McGregor versus Michael Chandler. I think Michael Chandler gets his shot now, in the main event.

“Boy, Michael Chandler will headline UFC 300, how crazy is that?”

No date or venue for UFC 300 has been announced yet despite the promotion’s first three pay-per-view of 2024 being confirmed.
