Why the fuck canāt the UFC build new stars for this event instead of trying to use retired felons with big names?
Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor is talking to UFC CEO Dana White ānonstopā about a possible comeback for the promotionās White House card in summer 2026. Leading the list of potential opponents is former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 31 coach Michael Chandler.
But āIronā could face some competition from former UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson.
āNot only is it not going to be a title fight, itās not going to be a No. 1 contender fight,ā former UFC title challenger, Chael Sonnen, said on YouTube. āItās not going to be a fight that affects the rankings at all and everybody is eligible. Conor used to be a world champion, so Conor can fight anybody, but Conor is not ranked. Conor is not even licensed. So if we bring him back, we could put him with somebody that isnāt ranked, an older name, a name that you know. We can bring somebody in. Tony Ferguson would not be off the table. This doesnāt affect anything in the future. This is a one-night-only event.ā
Ferguson, 41, parted ways with UFC earlier this year but resurrected his combat sports career with a victory under the Misfits Boxing banner. As for McGregor, 37, the UFC White House card will come nearly five years after he last stepped foot (and broke his leg) inside the Octagon.
Eh, I like Tony but no thanks.
Give us Conor vs. Diaz 3
I vote Severn vs Shamrock. It could redeem them from the worst mma match in the UFC.
Wolf tickets. MAcgregor is done and even announced hes taking a break from social media. He failed in his attempt to be come a Rapist President like his hero Trump. Sadly he only raped grown women (he just setled 206k GBP out of court to get her to go away.) so didnt meet his Mossad handlers requirements.
That suspension is over before the event.
Either way they got to be able to find someone better than a 1 legged Conor
March 2026
They started the suspension in 2024
