Conor McGregor served medical suspension as a result of his loss to Floyd Mayweather
Following the results of the exciting boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, “The Notorious” will not be allowed to immediately get back to competition even if he wanted to.
On Tuesday, MMA Fighting released the Nevada Athletic Commission medical suspensions served for some of the fighters from Saturday’s Mayweather vs McGregor boxing event.
McGregor, who suffered a TKO loss in the 10th round against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather in the main event of the night was served a medical suspension for a minimum of 60 days. McGregor will not be able to compete until October 26 with no contact until October 11, per the NAC. Fortunately, McGregor has stated previously that he had plans to fight again in December which should give the UFC lightweight champion proper preparation time for a training camp. This timeline lines up well for the UFC’s last pay-per-view card of the year, UFC 219, which is scheduled to take place on December 30.
The longest potential medical suspensions from the event were for 180 days given to Juan Heraldez and Jose Miguel Borrego. Both fighters must be cleared by an orthopedic doctor for injuries suffered in their contests.
