McGregor Claims White House UFC Comeback, Unconfirmed

Conor McGregor says his return fight at a UFC card planned for June 2026 at the White House for America’s 250th birthday is “done deal, signed and delivered.” He has publicly demanded a reported $100 million purse and 100 U.S. “Golden Visas” and says he is negotiating directly with the U.S. government with backing from UFC boss Dana White and former President Donald Trump. Dana White has promoted the idea as historic and shown renderings of an Octagon on the South Lawn, but the UFC and the White House or other government officials have not provided formal confirmation and participants have not been announced. McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg in July 2021 and withdrew from a proposed comeback with Michael Chandler, fueling skepticism about his readiness. Multiple outlets have reported McGregor’s on-the-record claims (including an interview with Sean Hannity), but the announcement remains driven primarily by McGregor’s statements pending official confirmation.
