Every fighter rises to stardom through a combination of elite fighting skills, the ability to connect with fans, and entertainment value. However, when some fighters make promises that they cannot deliver, this decreases their credibility in the eyes of fans. Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor once again sets a date for his return to the Octagon.

Ever since a leg injury from his loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, McGregor has teased a comeback, but it has never been fruitful. The White House event has been framed by CEO Dana White as one of the most ambitious projects in UFC history, a unique blend of politics and combat sports on a scale never before attempted. With McGregor attaching his name to it, the spectacle has gained immediate star power.

McGregor recently announced that he was officially venturing into the world of politics, having given his nomination for President of Ireland. However, his venture into politics was sure to put an end to his Octagon career. Just a few days after the political announcement, he tweeted confirming his interest in the White House Card. He confirmed this in a recent interview with street journalist Adam Glyn.

I am ecstatic! The Mac is back, and what better event than the greatest, the White House lawn for a strainer, what I do best. I am very excited, very eager, very motivated, bring it on, baby. That’s a definitely, for sure. That’s my event.

However, this confident declaration comes after recent comments from White, who made it clear that only fighters he could rely on would make the cut. Many viewed that as a subtle warning directed toward McGregor, whose career has been marked by long absences, injuries, and uncertainty about his return. Despite these, White seemed confident in the Irishman’s ability to show up regardless of circumstances.

The most glaring example came with the failed Michael Chandler fight. After months of build-up, hype, and even filming The Ultimate Fighter together, the matchup was never finalized. Injuries, scheduling issues, and contract delays left the fight in limbo until it eventually fizzled out completely. That cancellation not only frustrated fans but also raised questions about McGregor’s commitment.

But McGregor’s career in recent years has been defined by uncertainty. Time and again, he has teased a return only for plans to stall or collapse. Fans have grown accustomed to bold declarations of comebacks that often fail to materialize, leaving many skeptical about whether this latest promise will actually come to fruition. For some, his words at this point carry as much doubt as excitement.

Conor McGregor talks about his plans for Ireland

There is no doubt that Conor McGregor has always been vocal regarding his wish to become the President of his home republic, Ireland. The recent video that announced his nomination for the Presidency came in response to the unfair treatment of Irish people by the Parliament. He even visited US President Donald Trump to highlight his views.

However, in the recent video posted by street journalist Adam Glyn, McGregor was asked about his plans for the Irish people if he were to become their leader. The ‘Notorious One’ replied by saying that he would give back the power to the people of Ireland. He also revealed that every single citizen of his home republic has acted as an inspiration to him that motivated him to take up this path.

To make Ireland great again, we return power to the people, we empower localized government to rebalance the distribution of power. I am standing front and center for my country. I refuse to lie down.

While McGregor’s passion is undeniable, his history of controversies and unpredictable behavior raises questions about whether he can genuinely contribute to political or social change. Still, every time he speaks on issues beyond fighting, he commands massive attention. This latest statement proves once again that Conor McGregor has no intention of fading quietly into the background.
