All signs are pointing toward Conor Sheary earning a contract and roster spot with the New York Rangers.

During the offseason, the Rangers signed Sheary to a Professional Tryout Agreement as he looked to compete at training camp for an opening-night roster spot.

Mike Sullivan coached Sheary for multiple seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, as they won two Stanley Cups together.

Shearyâ€s past relationship and success with Sullivan led to him coming to New York on a PTO deal.

Throughout training camp, the 33-year-old forward stood out, proving his worth to Sullivan and the Rangers†management.

Sullivan has consistently put Sheary in a power-play role, which proves that he does have a plan for his trusted winger.

The expectation is that Sheary will play a bottom-six role for the Rangers if he were to make the team.

With the regular season set to begin on Tuesday, Sheary is yet to be placed on waivers, a positive sign weâ€ll see him with the Blueshirts to kick off the 2025-26 season.

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.
