Conor McGregor is the most-tested UFC fighter in 2026, having accumulated 15 anti-doping test sessions as of July 10. He added one session since the previous week's update.
Conor McGregor has emerged as the most-tested fighter on the UFC roster in 2026, logging 15 anti-doping test sessions as of July 10 — one more than he had recorded the previous week.
McGregor, 37, represents Ireland and trains out of SBG Ireland. The southpaw holds a professional record of 22-6-0 and has long been one of the most recognizable names in the lightweight and welterweight divisions. Standing five-foot-nine with a 74-inch reach, he carries a reputation as a high-output striker, averaging 5.32 significant strikes landed per minute at a 49 percent striking accuracy rate throughout his UFC career.
Why it matters
- With UFC 329 scheduled for July 11, McGregor's elevated testing volume signals active monitoring ahead of a potential return.
- Leading all UFC fighters in test sessions underscores the scrutiny applied to high-profile athletes returning from extended absences.
- His testing numbers will continue to be tracked on a rolling basis, with weekly updates reflecting any new sessions added.
The accumulation of 15 sessions places McGregor ahead of every other fighter currently enrolled in the UFC's anti-doping program for 2026. Anti-doping test counts are widely watched by fans and analysts as an informal indicator of a fighter's proximity to competition, though session totals alone do not confirm a bout is imminent. McGregor's testing activity will remain under close observation as the organization heads into UFC 329.
