Dana White Kills McGregor-Covington White House Rumor

Dana White dismissed reports that Conor McGregor vs Colby Covington will headline the UFC White House event on June 14, 2026, calling the claim 'total BS.' White revealed that a major matchmaking meeting with UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard is scheduled for February 11, with fights expected to be finalized by the weekend. The UFC White House card, celebrating the U.S. 250th anniversary, will feature approximately six to seven fights according to UFC Executive Chairman Ari Emanuel, contradicting President Trump's earlier claim of eight or nine title fights. Multiple fighters including Jon Jones and Conor McGregor have expressed interest in headlining the historic event.
