McGregor Skips White House, Eyes July Vegas Return

Conor McGregor is reportedly not fighting on the UFC White House card in June celebrating Trump's birthday, per Ariel Helwani. UFC prioritizes more lucrative International Fight Week on July 11 in Las Vegas for McGregor's return due to the invite-only White House event's limited revenue. This opens spots for matchups like Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira. The decision underscores business strategy amid McGregor's long layoff. Fans await confirmation, but it shifts focus to high-profile alternatives boosting event appeal without the biggest draw.[4]
