McGregor Skips White House, Eyes July Vegas Return

Conor McGregor is reportedly being overlooked for the UFC's White House event in June 2026, tied to a Trump birthday celebration. According to Ariel Helwani, UFC prefers other matchups for the invite-only card due to limited revenue potential. Instead, McGregor may return during the lucrative International Fight Week on July 11 in Las Vegas. This decision prioritizes profitability amid McGregor's long-awaited comeback. Fans await confirmation, but it shifts focus to potential big fights like Jones vs. Pereira elsewhere.
