Overview

• Conor McGregor told Fox News his White House appearance is a "done deal, signed, delivered," a claim the UFC has not independently confirmed.
• McGregor reiterated reported demands including a $100 million payday and 100 so‑called golden visas, saying he is negotiating with the U.S. government on Ireland’s behalf.
• He outlined a "six‑month operation" to prepare, plans a period of isolation during camp, and still targets Michael Chandler after withdrawing from that fight earlier with a broken toe.
• The former two‑division champion has not competed since breaking his leg in 2021, and he says he has two bouts remaining on his UFC contract.
• Dana White says the June 2026 South Lawn event is advancing operationally, including an estimated $700,000 to replace the grass, as the UFC shifts in 2026 to a Paramount deal that moves numbered cards off traditional pay‑per‑view.
