Conor McGregor has accepted an 18-month period of ineligibility for a violation of the UFC’s anti-doping policy, the promotion announced Tuesday.
The former UFC champion’s suspension began Sept. 20, 2024, and will conclude March 20, 2026, giving him enough time to potentially fight during the UFC event at the White House.
McGregor’s suspension stems from three missed biological sample collection attempts within a 12-month period in 2024. The missed tests, classified as Combat Sports Anti-Doping’s (CSAD) whereabouts failures, took place June 13, Sept. 19, and Sept. 20.
