Conor McGregor has named his price to fight on the UFC White House card.
MMA’s premier promotion will host a unique event at Donald Trump‘s official residence in June 2026.
Jon Jones has been begging to headline the show, but Dana White has someone else in mind.
The UFC CEO has repeatedly talked up Conor McGregor as the show’s main event fighter, while the Irish superstar has expressed his desire to return from his lengthy layoff at the White House next year.

Conor McGregor demands $200 million purse
All they’ve got to do now is agree on financial terms, which may not be easy after Conor McGregor’s latest tweet.
The former dual-weight champion wants a $200 million package to fight for the first time since breaking his leg at UFC 264 in July 2021.
McGregor wants to earn a $100 million flat fee to headline the once-in-a-lifetime UFC show.
The 37-year-old says the rest of his purse will be made up of 100 ‘Golden Card’ visas, which usually cost $1 million each and allow their owners to obtain residency in the United States.
“$100million to fight at the White House along with 100 U.S “Golden Visas” for myself and family and friends,” McGregor tweeted on Thursday morning.
“I look very forward to entertaining the fighting world once again. A pleasure I never take for granted!”
Who would Conor McGregor fight at the White House?
Conor McGregor’s return opponent has been set for the past few years.
The UFC legend has unfinished business with Michael Chandler after filming a season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ with him in 2023.
McGregor and ‘Iron Mike’ were booked to fight at UFC 303 in June 2024, but a toe injury forced MMA’s greatest legend off the card.
Since then, Chandler has lost back-to-back fights against Charles Oliveira and Paddy Pimblett.
Regardless, McGregor still wants to fight him and settle their long-running rivalry once and for all.
