UFC Suspends Conor McGregor 18 Months for Three Whereabouts Failures

Citing cooperation alongside medical factors, CSAD cut the standard two‑year term to 18 months.

Overview

  • UFC and CSAD issued the sanction after missed whereabouts tests on June 13, September 19 and September 20, 2024.
  • The suspension is effective from September 20, 2024 through March 20, 2026.
  • The penalty reflects a six‑month reduction from the typical 24 months based on McGregor’s cooperation and medical circumstances.
  • The timeline could make him eligible for President Trump’s planned White House gala on June 14, 2026, though participation is unconfirmed.
  • McGregor has not competed since July 2021, a loss to Dustin Poirier, and he has dropped three of his past four fights.
