Amidst a string of significant controversies, including a dispute with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, Conor McGregor seemed to suggest in a recent tweet that he has found some inner tranquility despite the ongoing turbulence in his life.
Furthermore, the former two-division UFC champion took the opportunity to promote his whiskey brand, valued at $600 million, emphasizing his successful venture outside of the UFC octagon.
Conor McGregor shares cryptic message on Self-love
In a cryptic tweet, the Irish UFC superstar subtly conveyed that he has found inner peace despite all the ongoing challenges in his life. The Notorious expressed contentment regardless of the circumstances he’s facing.
McGregor’s message carries a motivational tone, stating that there will always be difficulties or “rain” in life, but that shouldn’t hinder anyone from spreading joy and putting a smile on someone else’s face.

When will Conor McGregor enroll back in the USADA pool
Approximately a month ago, McGregor posted a now-deleted tweet criticizing USADA, expressing his disdain for the organization and suggesting that it should be disregarded and ensuring he won’t enroll back in the pool.
In an attempt to defend himself, McGregor claimed that he has never lied or tested positive for any banned substances and has successfully completed over 70 clean tests under the USADA program. Despite his claims, the relationship between him and USADA seems to be deteriorating.
🚨| Dana White has confirmed that Conor McGregor is still yet to re-enter the USADA pool, but is still holding out hope that the fight with Michael Chandler happens this year.

Recently, Mystic Mac posted a tweet with a voice message where he sang a song that mocked USADA, further fueling the ongoing tension between him and the organization. In the audio post, McGregor sang, “The drugs don’t work, they just make you worse. But I know I’ll see your face again,”
As of now, there have been no indications that USADA officials made any changes to their policies in response to McGregor’s statements. However, his continuous criticisms have likely contributed to the strain in his relationship with the anti-doping agency.
