Conor McGregor could be out of action for the rest of the year after receiving a six month medical suspension.

McGregor has been temporarily suspended due to injuries he suffered in his left foot and ankle suffered during his fight with Nate Diaz at the weekend.

McGregor won the gruelling, five-round fight but left the Las Vegas venue on crutches afterwards.

The Irishman will not be allowed to fight competitively again until next February, if he cannot get clearance from an orthopedic doctor.
