Overview
- Jorge Masvidal said talks are active for a possible Conor McGregor matchup, noting his manager Ali Abdelaziz is engaging with UFC executives Dana White and Hunter Campbell.
- Masvidal is targeting the June event on the White House South Lawn, though UFC officials have indicated the card will not be finalized until after Feb. 1, 2026.
- No bout is confirmed, and Masvidal emphasized that discussions remain ongoing without firm details.
- McGregor has not fought since July 2021 and withdrew from a scheduled 2024 fight with Michael Chandler due to a broken pinky toe.
