Conor McGregor has received a medical suspension of up to six months following his five-round victory over Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
McGregor outpointed Diaz in a bloody, tiring slugfest on Saturday and came out with issues in his foot and ankle, including a possible fracture, and also said after the fight that his shin was sore from landing so many kicks.
He hobbled into his post-fight press conference on crutches and needed assistance walking out.
Medical suspensions aren’t uncommon and McGregor can have his waived if he is cleared by an orthopaedic doctor.
Otherwise, he’s unable to train with contact until October 5 and is suspended from fighting until October 20, when he can be re-evaluated.
