Conor
McGregor continues to tease a return at the White House.
The
Ultimate Fighting Championship will host a one-of-a-kind event
at the White House on June 14. A plethora of fighters, including
McGregor, have been rallying for a spot on the card. UFC CEO Dana
White recently leaked a covered photo of the planning board for the
lineup. The White House bill will be billed as “Freedom Fights
250,” a tribute to the 250th year of U.S. independence. Two title
fights will grace the marquee.
McGregor immediately reacted to the news, saying, “freedom,”
hinting that he hasn’t given up hope of a return at the White
House.
McGregor hasn’t fought since breaking his leg in a trilogy loss
against Dustin
Poirier in 2021. While “Notorious” recovered within 12 months,
he spent most of the year travelling around Europe in his yacht.
While McGregor has been teasing a return for years now, it hasn’t
come to fruition. The Dubliner was even booked to fight Michael
Chandler at UFC 303
in 2024, but pulled out due to a toe injury. However, perhaps all
hope is not lost as McGregor has reportedly been drug tested thrice
this year, making him the most scrutinized UFC fighter in 2026.
FREEDOM!!!! ⚔️
