Conor McGregor wants to get paid big money to fight on the UFC’s historic White House card. During a recent interview on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast, UFC CEO Dana White revealed that McGregor is “dead serious” about returning to the UFC during their first White House card in June.
“So, Conor says he’s coming back,” White said. “He’s in the [testing] pool. There’s tons of footage of him training. You know, he wants to fight on this White House card. We’ll see. I mean, we won’t start building that card until February.”
“He and I have been talking nonstop,” White said. “And he’s like, ‘I’m dead serious. I want this. You know, I’m training. I’m back in the pool. I’m doing all this s—.’ So, we’ll see. We still have a long way to go [until June]. We still have a long way to go until February until we start making these cards, so we’ll see how it plays out.”

It appears that McGregor is now publicly negotiating with the UFC.
On Thursday morning, McGregor issued a set of demands he wants to fight on the White House card.
“$100million to fight at the White House along with 100 U.S “Golden Visas” for myself and family and friends.” said McGregor in a post on X.
“I look very forward to entertaining the fighting world once again.” A pleasure I never take for granted!”
Fans weren’t thriled with McGregor’s post considering how much he’s been teasing about fighting again in June.

McGregor returning to the Octagon is most likely a long shot, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s actually serious about it or not.
