Conor McGregor suspended for 18 months.
Mixed Martial Arts
🚨 Conor McGregor has been suspended for 18 months under the UFC’s anti-doping policy after missing three testing attempts in 2024, with his ineligibility period running from September 20, 2024, to March 20, 2026. Although McGregor was dealing with an injury & not actively preparing for a fight during the missed tests, they were classified as whereabouts failures. He fully cooperated with the investigation & due to mitigating factors, his suspension was reduced from the standard 24 months to 18.
🚨 Sean O’Malley says he’s the only one who can defeat UFC Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili because you just have to land that one shot; that sniper shot. O’Malley believes he’s the only one who can do it & can’t see anyone else doing so.
🚨 Daniel Cormier believes Umar Nurmagomedov is the only one who can seriously challenge Merab Dvalishvili.
“We saw them fight. It was 48-47 across the board.”
🚨 Magomed Ankalaev was reportedly dealing with a broken rib ahead of his UFC 320 loss to Alex Pereira, which significantly affected his ability to train & spar, as a video was just posted showing Ankalaev undergoing medical treatment weeks before the fight. His manager later stated Ankalaev “should never have fought” though no specific details were initially given. Despite the injury, Ankalaev made no mention of it in his post-fight statement.

“I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it. It’s crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment – I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
