Conor McGregor's Future in UFC Uncertain After USADA Ineligibility and Doubts from Fighters

Conor McGregor is ineligible to fight for the remainder of 2023 after failing to register with the US Anti-Doping Agency. The earliest he could fight Michael Chandler is January 2024, but it's unlikely due to his fiancee's pregnancy and his desire to take time off during the holidays. McGregor's massive frame and significant muscle gain have raised speculation about PED use, but he has denied it. The UFC can afford to wait for McGregor's return, as it's become a money-making machine. McGregor's leg injury also needs to be fully healed before he can fight again.
