Masvidal Teases White House-Only Return as McGregor Opponent Remains Unclear

The UFC has backed off a McGregorChandler matchup, leaving the June 14 South Lawn card in flux.

Overview

  • Jorge Masvidal said he is training for “something big” and promised “very big” fight news soon in an interview with MMA Junkie.
  • He stated he would only come back to MMA to compete at the White House and referenced his rapport with Donald Trump.
  • Pressed on Conor McGregor, Masvidal said he “can’t deny or confirm” and suggested he expects more clarity in about 10 days.
  • Dana White has ruled out McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, and the White House lineup remains unannounced as McGregor’s claimed return awaits confirmation.
  • Analyst Chael Sonnen argued the UFC would likely pair McGregor with “a real guy” who offers long-term value, suggesting names like Nate Diaz or Masvidal may not fit that plan.
