Conor McGregor Says Contract for Fight at UFC White House Event is ‘Done Deal, Signed’

Conor McGregor revealed that his fight as part of the upcoming 2026 UFC event at the White House is set.

“It ain’t a negotiation,” McGregor told Sean Hannity on Fox News. “It’s a done deal, signed, delivered. McGregor will compete in the White House for America’s 250th birthday.”

The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion previously confirmed his involvement on the card on Sept. 12.

While UFC president Dana White hasn’t officially confirmed that the 37-year-old will be involved in the event, McGregor told Hannity that he’s been in “constant communications” with White.

Meanwhile, White left the door open regarding a potential McGregor return during a Sept. 16 appearance on the Impaulsive podcast (h/t SI.com’s Zain Bando).

“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–t.’ 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.”

On Sept. 25, McGregor requested $100 million in exchange for his participation in the event.

McGregor is one of the most well-known fighters in UFC history, although he hasn’t stepped in the Octagon since July 2021. While he owns a 22-6 record, three of his losses have occurred in his last four fights.

Still, McGregor is determined to work his way back and be a part of the upcoming UFC White House card.
