McGregor eyes July return, skips White House card

Conor McGregor is reportedly not expected to fight on the UFC White House card on June 14, 2026, despite earlier hopes to end his layoff there. Ariel Helwani reports a higher chance of his return during International Fight Week on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, citing better financial incentives. Dana White announced this week he'll reveal the White House main event soon, amid other updates like Alex Pereira vacating light heavyweight title for Jiri Prochazka vs. Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327. This shifts expectations for McGregor's comeback, impacting lightweight scheduling. Fans await official confirmation soon.
