U.S. president Donald Trump proposed the UFC host an event at the White House on July 4, 2026. UFC CEO Dana White said he plans on putting a "badass" card for the event, but will the sport's biggest star be a part of it?

White hinted that there “could be” a scenario where Jones and McGregor could fight on the same card. McGregor has not competed in a UFC octagon since losing to Dustin Poirier (twice) in 2021.

UFC president Dana White commented Thursday on the proposed UFC event at the White House in Washington, D.C., next year.
