With success, UFC Legend Paul “The Irish Dragon” Felder has rejoined the USADA testing pool. The 39-year-old slugger has already submitted one sample and completed one test, according to the most recent data available on USADA’s website.
According to the USADA athlete guidelines, Felder will need to submit to two clean tests or wait six months in the testing pool before competing since he is coming out of retirement.

UFC Legend Paul Felder Makes A Comeback After Retirement
Felder had a two-fight losing streak at the end of his UFC career when he quietly retired in November 2020. Among them were defeated by a unanimous decision against Dan Hooker and a convincing loss to Rafael Dos Anjos, a fight he entered with barely four days’ notice.
Felder was laying up plans to come out of retirement as early as November 2021. These included high-profile fights against fighters like Conor McGregor and the camaraderie of competing with fellow Philadelphians like Andre Petroski and Pat Sabatini.
Felder ultimately decided to unretire after witnessing “The Korean Zombie’s” incredible retirement at UFC Fight Night 225. Felder said of X, “Can’t get that main event out of my mind,” as though “The Irish Dragon” hadn’t had the proper farewell.
Felder’s re-entry into the testing pool would be announced by the UFC panel a few days later. Now that Felder has undergone testing, a comeback date is beginning to take shape. Who will face him again is a mystery. Is Renato Moicano, Jalin Turner, or perhaps another fight with RDA a possibility? The answer will become clear in time.
