Overview

• Conor McGregor says he is dealing directly with President Trump’s administration for a White House comeback rather than negotiating through UFC executives.
• He has publicly floated an asking price near $200 million that he says covers his purse and visas for friends and family.
• McGregor signaled he wants Jon Jones on the card, contradicting Dana White’s stated position that Jones will not be included.
• White has described the odds of booking Jones as “a billion-to-one,” and planning for the June 2026 event remains focused on logistics with no matchups finalized.
• McGregor has not fought since 2021 after a leg break against Dustin Poirier, and former champion Henry Cejudo speculated on a podcast that White will eventually relent on Jones.
