Overview
- The UFC’s June 14 event on the White House South Lawn remains set, with production chief Craig Borsari handling on‑site logistics in multiple visits.
- Dana White called online chatter of Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal “goofy,” and he previously said the long-discussed McGregor–Michael Chandler bout is off.
- White said formal matchmaking begins immediately after UFC 324, with meetings early next week and a goal to have the card dialed in by the second week of February.
- Conor McGregor says he plans to renegotiate his deal in February following the UFC’s $7.7 billion Paramount rights agreement, leaving his participation unresolved.
- Jorge Masvidal and his manager say there have been talks about a return and potential McGregor pairing, while voices like Jon Anik push for title-heavy matchups and Merab Dvalishvili says a Petr Yan trilogy won’t land on the White House card due to Yan’s Russian nationality.
