Conor McGregor is reportedly not expected to compete on the UFC White House card on June 14, 2026, according to veteran MMA reporter Ariel Helwani. The former dual-weight champion was hoping to end his five-year layoff by competing at the once-in-a-lifetime White House event, but Helwani's sources indicate McGregor will instead make his comeback during International Fight Week on July 11 in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. Helwani cited financial reasons for the shift, noting that the White House event has been touted as having no money to be made and potential losses, making a July return more likely. Dana White indicated he would announce the White House card details this week.
