McGregor Skips White House, Eyes July Vegas Return

Conor McGregor is reportedly being bypassed for the UFC White House event in June, tied to Trump's birthday celebration. Ariel Helwani states UFC prioritizes more lucrative International Fight Week on July 11 in Las Vegas for McGregor's return due to the invite-only White House's limited revenue. This impacts McGregor's comeback timeline and UFC's big-event strategy. Fans miss a potential McGregor headliner there, possibly opening spots for Jones vs Pereira. Expect McGregor confirmation soon for IFW, boosting PPV sales.
