Conor McGregor Wants In on Trump’s Proposed UFC Event at the White House

After former U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by suggesting a UFC fight night on the White House lawn, it didn’t take long for Conor McGregor to jump into the spotlight. The Irish star expressed his eagerness to headline what could be the most surreal combat sports event in modern history.

Trump’s idea, announced during a rally on July 3, envisions a full UFC card in 2026 as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebration. With up to 25,000 fans expected to attend, the buzz has already reached fever pitch among fight fans and pundits alike. Naturally, dream matchups featuring names like Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, and McGregor quickly filled social media timelines.

“Happy 4th of July, USA. Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!” McGregor posted alongside a photo of himself and Trump, sparking a media frenzy.

McGregor hasn’t competed since UFC 264, when he suffered a leg injury against Dustin Poirier. His long-awaited return against Michael Chandler was postponed, leaving fans wondering if “The Notorious” would ever re-enter the Octagon. Recently, McGregor has been more active promoting BKFC than fighting under the UFC banner.

Still, a White House comeback could be the exact kind of stage McGregor craves. Whether it becomes a sanctioned bout or a symbolic appearance, his name alone guarantees eyeballs. And if Trump’s vision takes shape, this crossover of politics, spectacle, and high-level MMA could become one of the most viral UFC moments ever.
