For Dana White, the upcoming White House event represents the most highly anticipated moment in his promotional career so far. He recently traveled to Washington DC to meet Donald Trump, showcasing the initial renderings and highlighting the grand event’s vision. The UFC has revealed intricate details, while names like Conor McGregor have already been heavily linked, fueling fan excitement.

McGregor hasn’t fought in the Octagon for four years, ever since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier. Beyond injuries, the ‘Notorious’ has faced multiple controversies, causing many longtime fans to doubt his potential comeback in fighting. Recently, White shared positive updates during an interview with Logan Paul, sparking renewed optimism regarding McGregor’s long-awaited return.

People talk (expletive) about Conor. I’m telling you I have been (expletive) trenches with Conor. He is the guy that has fought injured. Conor is a guy that has fallen out. We slid in a stylistically bad matchup for him; he doesn’t care. He literally will fight anybody. He and I have been talking non stop, and he is like ‘I’m dead serious. I want this, I’m back in the pool.’

To demonstrate his dedication, McGregor frequently uploads training clips online while consistently discussing the significance of the White House event. A passionate supporter of Donald Trump, McGregor visited the White House months ago, meeting the former President in person on St. Patrick’s Day.

For ‘Mystic Mac’, the upcoming White House event stands as one of the greatest opportunities for his highly anticipated comeback. Conor McGregor had previously spoken about his bold ambitions to run for the presidency of Ireland, emphasizing saving his nation.

During this time, the fighter criticized the Irish government, targeting several policies and aggressively promoting himself as the rightful alternative. Interestingly, Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly offered to provide financial support for McGregor’s campaign, which quickly created headlines. 

However, after months of speculation and drama, the ‘Notorious’ officially withdrew his candidacy for now as the political dreams will be revisited in the future. As a result, many fans strongly believe McGregor was now focused entirely on staging his long-awaited UFC comeback.

Irrespective of his long inactivity, Conor McGregor remains the sport’s biggest draw, with fighters eagerly hoping to share the Octagon. Facing him represents a lucrative opportunity, meaning McGregor continues to enjoy numerous potential options when it comes to high-profile opponents.

Among those fighters is Michael Chandler, who already shares a heated rivalry with the ‘Notorious’ and was close to fighting him last year. Their rivalry truly began after they coached against each other during TUF season 31, escalating tensions and building incredible fan anticipation.

However, when the scheduled UFC 303 clash finally approached, McGregor shockingly pulled out. He cited a pinky toe injury, leaving Chandler devastated. Despite losing nearly two prime career years, Chandler remains hopeful and recently declared an interest in fighting McGregor at the White House event.

In my heart of hearts, I think I’m fighting Conor McGregor at the White House and that sure does make a ton of sense for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, I want the White House. Ideally, if it becomes Conor, that would be awesome. We have some unfinished business. I’ve got respect for him, he’s got respect for me, but we do have [some] unfinished business.

Chandler has always showcased his patriotic side, making the White House event a fitting stage that perfectly suits him. He has argued strongly that UFC should invest in reliable fighters like him, who consistently show up without ever pulling out. Unfortunately, his last two fights ended painfully, suffering devastating defeats against Charles Oliveira and rising lightweight star Paddy Pimblett. 

These back-to-back setbacks have certainly damaged Chandler’s current rankings and overall momentum within the intensely competitive lightweight division. Nevertheless, fans remain curious whether Chandler will finally secure the long-awaited McGregor fight, after years of waiting patiently for that opportunity.
