Conor McGregor has taken a huge step towards making his long-awaited UFC return as he sets his sights on a fight at the White House. McGregor has not competed in the UFC since losing back-to-back bouts to Dustin Poirer in 2021, with an anticipated return against Michael Chandler last year falling apart at short notice due to injury.

The next Fourth of July will mark America's 250th birthday and there are plans in the works for a grand UFC event at the White House to mark it. UFC president Dana White is already in the planning phase of the process.

UFC CEO Dana White is extremely excited about next year’s White House card that will hopefully actually happen. Dustin Poirier is absolutely shredded ahead of the final appearance of his UFC career.
