Overview

• McGregor posted on X that he would fight on the proposed card for $100 million and 100 U.S. “Golden Visas” for himself, family and friends.
• UFC has confirmed it is working with the White House on a future event, with President Donald Trump having floated July 4, 2026 as a target date.
• No contracts, opponents or weight classes are finalized for the card, and UFC has indicated matchmaking will come later in the lead‑up to 2026.
• McGregor has not fought since a 2021 leg break against Dustin Poirier; he re-entered the UFC drug-testing pool and has often pointed to Michael Chandler as a preferred opponent, though that bout is not official.
• The visa request references a new Trump administration “Gold Card” program tying expedited immigration to a $1 million gift, and some MMA figures, including Chael Sonnen, have publicly questioned whether McGregor’s demands are a publicity ploy.
