The reason McGregor will have to wait six months before fighting and it's not because of his movie jump

'The Notorious' must previously be put back under USADA's magnifying glass for half a year


After UFC 280, Dana White revealed that the return of Conor McGregor will take a little longer. Specifically, at least six months. It is not because he is shooting the remake of Road House (By profession: hard), an arduous job according to what he has related, but for a very different reason. Although participating with a prominent role in the review of that 80s classic starring Patrick Swayze -and now Jake Gyllenhaal- does not seem very compatible with his wrestling career, a USADA (Anti-Agence Agency) rule is added to the cinema and his recovery. -United States Doping).

Before his return to competition, 'The Notorious' has to undergo six months of anti-doping tests and give a minimum of at least two negative tests (more can be done, and they must all be negative) before he is allowed to do so. compete in the UFC again. And this why? Well, because McGregor is currently outside the USADA control group that follows all active athletes.

Normally, someone who is active and is officially registered in a competition or circuit in the United States, does not leave the control group, but in the case of McGregor, yes, because his inactivity was going to be long. In addition, he established his headquarters in the Dominican Republic while filming Road House.

Therefore, if the former double UFC champion wants to fight again, he must "restart" the process with USADA, whose period is six months, as the organization itself confirmed to the web portal www.mmafighting.com, and comply with all control requirements. Of course, USADA also has the power to grant you an exemption, but the two negative tests would always be essential.

Conor last fought in July 2021 in his third fight against Dustin Poirier, in which he suffered a gruesome fracture. That year he was the subject of 11 anti-doping tests in total. 'The Notorious' has already made it clear on social networks that as soon as he finishes filming he will focus again on his career in the UFC. His latest contribution was to call Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski "ticks". Be that as it may, the return of the Irishman is not expected until next spring.

Guevara, Mister Spain 2022

The Moto3 champion wins all four races in our country, as Lorenzo or Márquez did, before jumping to Moto2 No one doubts that Izan Guevara is a 'crack' that, almost certainly, will be even more so in the coming years. The Spaniard prevailed in the Valencia race, to say goodbye to the year, fulfilling the objective that he had set for himself: to achieve victory in the four events in Spain. Only Jorge Lorenzo had obtained it in 2015 and Marc Márquez, in 2019. Both were champions that year in MotoGP, as the one in Palma has been this campaign in Moto3. Aspar's pupil, furthermore, did so being true to himself, in the style with which he has built his crown and with which he has shaped a driving style that threatens to be infallible in the highest displacements: with a devilish cornering, shooting wildly from the start and not worrying about the others at any time.

 Vivian, Yeray, Iñigo Martínez, and Vesga are key to the good offensive and defensive performance of the lions Athletic has performed at the Champions League level in this first part of the competition. This is reflected in the points achieved, which allow them to watch the World Cup from fourth place, and their offensive and defensive records, placing them among the top three in the league in this regard. One of the keys to this good performance is the safety net formed by Vivian, Yeray, Iñigo Martínez, and Vesga, who are vital to understanding the good work of the rojiblancos both in attack and defense. As in previous seasons, high pressing is a key element in Athletic games. Recovering near the rival area means fewer passes to generate a scoring chance, something they are especially grateful for because of the need to live at the high pace that they have been demonstrating. As various components of the squad have been well explained, pressing with one more man leaves the defense...
