Irish fighter Conor McGregor has accepted an 18-month ban for violating the UFC’s Anti-Doping policy.
The UFC, in a statement on Tuesday, revealed McGregor missed three attempted biological sample collections within 12 months in 2024.
It also explained that the usual 24-month ban was reduced due to McGregor’s cooperation with CSAD’s investigation.
However, his ban, which begins September 20, 2024, will end on March 20, 2026.
This means McGregor will be eligible to fight at the White House event on June 14.
Last week, Donald Trump confirmed that the UFC card taking place at the White House will take place on June 14 next year, which will be his 80th birthday.
