Conor McGregor Tops UFC’s 2026 Anti-Doping Tests as Suspension Nears End

Overview

• An updated UFC Anti-Doping Test History database shows McGregor has been tested three times in 2026, the most of any fighter to date.
• Across the roster, 597 fighters have been tested this year with 771 total samples collected, according to the database figures shared by Jed I. Goodman.
• McGregor reacted on X, writing, “Well, no surprise there. As always, the most tested.”
• He is serving an 18-month ban for three missed whereabouts filings, not a failed test, and becomes eligible to compete on March 20, 2026.
• McGregor has not fought since his leg break at UFC 264 in July 2021 and has hinted in now-deleted posts that he accepted an opponent and date while the UFC has not confirmed any deal, with a June 14 White House event viewed as a possible target.
