Conor McGregor Says White House UFC Return Is a 'Done Deal' Despite No Official Confirmation

Lack of UFC or White House confirmation leaves key logistics unresolved.

Overview

  • McGregor told Sean Hannity his comeback is a "done deal, signed, delivered" for the planned 2026 White House card.
  • He described a six‑month training "operation" with a period of isolation in which he will not answer his phone.
  • He again identified Michael Chandler as his preferred opponent after their previously scheduled bout fell through.
  • He has publicly sought a $100 million purse and "100 Golden Visas" and has claimed to be negotiating with the U.S. government.
  • Neither the UFC nor the White House has announced his bout as final, as security, scheduling and matchmaking remain in progress under a new $7.7 billion Paramount broadcast era, while he has two UFC fights left and continues to promote BKFC.
