Conor McGregor's return to combat has been further delayed.
On Tuesday, UFC announced that the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion has been suspended for 18 months after violating the whereabouts policy under the promotion's anti-doping program. Through Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD), McGregor missed three testing samples within a 12-month window on the dates of June 13, Sept. 19 and Sept. 20, 2024.
McGregor, 37, was initially to be suspended for 24 months until further cooperation prompted a reduction down to 18 months, UFC stated. His suspension will be retroactive to the last date of his missed testing, meaning he won't be eligible to return to competition until March 20, 2026.
