Masvidal Links MMA Comeback to UFC White House Event as McGregor’s Role Unsettled

The June 14 card still lacks a confirmed headliner.

Overview

  • Jorge Masvidal said he is training for “something big” and teased that major fight news could be announced in roughly 10 days.
  • He stated that any MMA return would only be to compete on the White House lawn in front of President Donald Trump.
  • Masvidal declined to confirm or deny Conor McGregor as his prospective opponent, keeping speculation alive.
  • UFC CEO Dana White recently expressed uncertainty about McGregor’s participation and said he is no longer interested in booking McGregor vs. Michael Chandler.
  • Analyst Chael Sonnen contended that if McGregor does fight, the UFC would likely match him with a credible, longer-term opponent rather than a nostalgia option.
