RFK Jr. goes viral facing off UFC superstar Conor McGregor at White House 

UFC superstar Conor McGregor recently made headlines after his visit to the White House. The ‘Notorious’ went there to meet US President Donald Trump and also took this opportunity to talk about his political aspirations. During the visit, he also met the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A few months ago, McGregor was in Washington, DC, for Trump’s inauguration ceremony. This time, he met Trump, and they both had a private conversation. In the viral clips, McGregor was seen crediting the president for his work ethic. His meeting with RFK Jr. also went viral on the internet, where fans saw the pair posing as a UFC face-off. 

For McGregor, it wasn’t just a normal visit as he gave a passionate speech about his political views. The ‘Notorious’ slammed the Irish government and its policies over illegal immigration and surging crime rates. It seems like he has also followed McGregor’s career and couldn’t miss an opportunity to click a picture. 

Nevertheless, RFK Jr. is a huge part of Trump’s election campaign and his great following among the masses. He is also a UFC fan and was seen at UFC 309 along with Trump and Elon Musk, watching the fights. CEO Dana White respects RFK Jr. and didn’t shy away from taking his stance in a recent controversy. 

When the UFC CEO defended RFK Jr. over the Peloton controversy 

In 2023, during a podcast with Theo Von, Dana White talked about advertisements and freedom of speech. During the discussion, Von talked about how Peloton asked him to remove his podcast with RFK Jr. Peloton is an American-based company that sells stationary bikes for health benefits.

White couldn’t believe this incident and immediately went off, bashing the company for taking such extreme steps. According to White, in the US, anybody can speak and work with anybody with such restraints. His tirade on Peloton went viral on the internet, garnering attention and support from millions of fans. 

White has always been known for his willingness to walk away from deals that don’t align with his vision for the UFC. Over the years, he’s been involved in several major sponsorship negotiations and has turned down lucrative offers. According to White, he felt they didn’t benefit the organization or its fighters. 

While there have been a few controversies related to his relationship with some fighters, these incidents are rare. Throughout his career, White has dealt with hundreds of fighters, working with them for UFC’s benefit. Among them, Conor McGregor definitely has been the most valuable one. 

Conor McGregor’s relationship with UFC CEO Dana White 

Dana White and Conor McGregor share a lucrative but sometimes turbulent relationship. White has consistently praised McGregor as the UFC’s biggest star, benefiting from his record-breaking pay-per-view sales. He believes that the ‘Notorious’ is responsible for bringing several new fans and millions of dollars in revenue.

However, they’ve had public disagreements over fight bookings, McGregor’s long absences, and contract disputes. The only thing that White hates about McGregor is his lack of punctuality.  Their relationship is business-driven, but White often speaks about McGregor with admiration. While tensions occasionally rise, White remains eager to promote McGregor’s fights.

A few months back, White was eager to host McGregor’s comeback fight in UFC. But now he has no updates about the same. Many fans and experts believe that the ‘Mystic Mac’ has no interest in fighting again, and signs are pretty clear.
