Conor McGregor Teases UFC Comeback (Yet Again) Amid Skepticism: WATCH
Conor McGregor, 37, announced he's undergone drug testing, aiming to re-enter the UFC after a leg break over four years ago. Another year, another Conor McGregor comeback update. Oh well, given the Irishman's history, take it with a pinch of salt. On Tuesday, the former UFC star announced that he has undergone drug testing—an essential step toward re-entering the UFC's anti-doping pool and making a sanctioned return to the Octagon. McGregor posted a video to social media wearing only his underwear and training, as he pointed to a small bandage near his shoulder, claiming it was from his first blood test in the process of getting cleared to fight again. 'I gave my first blood test, that's the plaster on my shoulder. I am ECSTATIC! I'm in SHAPE!" he wrote in a caption accompanying the video. Conor McGregor says he's officially back in the UFC's testing pool 👀'I gave my first blood test, that's what the plaster is on my shoulder. I am ECSTATIC! I'm in SHAPE!" 🎥 @TheNotoriousMMA — Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) July 30, 2025 In the same flurry of posts, McGregor—sporting a mohawk—shared a video of himself shadowboxing, appearing lean and well-conditioned. McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) has not fought since suffering a leg break in his second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier—an injury that took place more than four years ago. He was expected to return against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024, but withdrew due to a fractured baby toe. Now 37 years old, McGregor (yet again) appears eager to finally make a comeback. One potential target: a rumored UFC event at the White House, teased by U.S. President Donald Trump as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of American independence on July 4, 2026. More Headlines Outside the Cage Than In It For McGregor In recent years, McGregor has made more headlines for his legal troubles and online antics than for anything fight-related. His rap sheet includes a sexual assault liability conviction, multiple assault allegations, and a steady stream of social media controversies. Despite years of hints, promotional hype, and statements from UFC CEO Dana White, McGregor has remained far from a true return. So, is this the time McGregor finally steps back into the cage? Well, fans have grown wary after years of unfulfilled promises. So, you be the judge. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ragini Khanna admits a Koffee With Karan episode with Govinda would be ‘embarrassing but iconic': 'It would be a very discomforting...'
Ragini Khanna feels appearing on 'Koffee With Karan' with Govinda would be awkward. She cites their formal relationship as a reason. She acknowledges the episode would be entertaining. Ragini also addressed assumptions about her career due to Govinda's fame. She highlighted industry double standards. 'Koffee With Karan' is a popular celebrity talk show. What happens when you mix family ties with Karan Johar 's infamous couch? According to Ragini Khanna—plenty of awkwardness and iconic moments. The television star recently admitted that while she'd love to appear on Koffee With Karan alongside her uncle, Govinda , the episode would likely be 'embarrassing' and 'discomforting' due to their formal relationship. Still, she believes their contrasting personalities would make it unmissable content. Too formal for the couch When asked whether she'd rather take on a dance challenge with Govinda or appear on Koffee With Karan alongside him, Ragini Khanna leaned toward the latter—but with a twist. In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, she admitted that the idea of sharing the couch with her uncle would be extremely awkward and far from their usual dynamic, which is formal and reserved. Describing their relationship as more traditional and respectful, she felt the personal and probing questions typical of the show would make the episode deeply discomforting and embarrassing for both. Still, she joked, it would likely make for entertaining content, given Govinda's knack for reading between the lines. Earlier in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Ragini slammed the assumption that being related to Govinda gave her an advantage in the industry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo She pointed out that while Govinda is a huge star, she isn't his daughter and doesn't enjoy the same privileges. Expressing affection for his children, Tina (Narmada) and Yashvardan Ahuja, she said they are like friends to her—but highlighted a clear double standard in the industry. According to Ragini, if someone suggested Tina or Yash take up television roles, they probably wouldn't, but someone like her would be expected to. She added that this mindset needs to change, questioning why television is still viewed as a step down from films. The show that gets everyone talking Koffee With Karan is a popular celebrity talk show hosted by filmmaker and TV personality Karan Johar. Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital arm of Dharma Productions, the show first premiered on November 19, 2004. Over the past 18 years, it has completed eight successful seasons, known for its candid conversations, rapid-fire rounds, and headline-making revelations. Ragini Khanna is widely recognized for her standout television roles, notably as Bharti in Bhaskar Bharti and Suhana Kashyap in the hit show Sasural Genda Phool. She showcased her dancing skills as a contestant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4 in 2010 and later brought her comic timing to the forefront on Comedy Nights with Kapil, where she played multiple characters.
