UFC star Conor McGregor is set to make a return to the octagon for the White House Card, but the fighter revealed he won’t be coming until he gets $100 million.
The UFC is gearing up for its upcoming blockbuster card with a lineup of fighters ready to take the stage. Despite the impressive card, many believe it is only fitting that UFC’s most notorious and popular fighter, Conor McGregor, makes his return. The Irishman has been out of the cage for five years, but he promised to come back for the White House card, only with certain demands. In a recent tweet, McGregor listed what it would take for him to participate at the White House event set for July 4, 2026.
“$100 million to fight at the White House along with 100 U.S. ‘Golden Visas’ for myself and family and friends. I look very forward to entertaining the fighting world once again. A pleasure I never take for granted!”
In another tweet, McGregor spoke about his current training situation.
“I have so much aggression built up that I must release. I will throw harder and more venomous than I have ever thrown before. I have been punching way incredibly harder in my most recent preparative efforts and I delight in the thought of doing it live again. My shots whistle through the air like rockets! It’s why, and how, I hold every fiscal record in the entire book of fighting. See you soon, kids!”
No fighters have been officially confirmed for UFC White House, though several big names have expressed interest, including McGregor, the recently un-retired Jon Jones, and undefeated UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.
