After suffering his first career loss by knockout, Conor McGregor is receiving the longest medical suspension of his career.

Entering into his highly anticipated rematch with Dustin Poirier that capped off UFC 257 this past Saturday, Conor McGregor had only suffered defeat via submission. For the fifth loss of his near-30 fight career, “The Diamond” would change that.
