Overview

• At the UFC 320 post-fight press conference, Dana White said no fights are signed for the White House event, discussions are focused on production, and no negotiations are taking place with the U.S. government.
• Conor McGregor told Fox News his return is a “done deal” and identified Michael Chandler as his preferred opponent, while Chandler reiterated his interest in that matchup.
• McGregor still has two fights remaining on his UFC contract, has not competed since his 2021 leg break, and re-entered testing earlier this year.
• White underscored logistical hurdles for staging a card on the South Lawn, noting the Octagon’s weight and the potential need to replace the grass.
• The June 2026 showcase is being developed as UFC transitions to a new Paramount/CBS broadcast deal, with White vowing to build the promotion’s most stacked lineup once matchmaking begins.
