McGregor skipped for White House, eyes July return

UFC is reportedly bypassing Conor McGregor for the June White House event, opting for other matchups due to its invite-only, low-revenue nature. Ariel Helwani revealed McGregor's likely return instead at International Fight Week on July 11 in Las Vegas for maximum profitability. This shifts expectations for McGregor's comeback timing. The decision prioritizes business amid fan disappointment. McGregor's absence opens slots for superfights. Watch for White House lineup announcements next week.
