UFC fighter Conor McGregor has received an 18-month suspension for violating anti-doping rules, stemming from three missed sample collection attempts in 2024. The suspension, effective September 20, 2024, to March 20, 2026, was reduced due to McGregor's cooperation and circumstances. The fighter has been recovering from injury and has not competed since July 2021. This ruling comes amidst ongoing discussions about a potential UFC event at the White House in 2026, where McGregor has expressed a desire to fight.
