Conor McGregor wants a UFC plan to break into the White House.
Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced plans to host a unique UFC event at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
“I’m going home,” McGregor told Schmo, discussing rumors about his return on next year’s White House card. “I’m going to put my head down. I’m going to rest. They’re testing me. I’m in the pool. I say, ‘Tell him, I thought it was for the pool – I’ll come and go.” But I’m back in the pool. Get ready and get ready.
It’s certainly not the first time McGregor has made fun of a potential return to the octagon. We spent most of the two years waiting for him to make “the biggest comeback in the history of combat sports” against Michael Chandler.
It’s been more than four years since Conor McGregor fought in the UFC
McGregor has not competed within Octagon since suffering a broken leg in the first round of his trilogy battle with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
He lost three of the last four under the UFC banner, including a back-to-back loss against the infamous “diamond,” and was choked by his bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018.
But despite a lack of victory, activity and a lot of bad press, McGregor remains one of the biggest names in the sport. It and his intimate friendship with Trump make him an amazing choice for a fight night that makes him a promotional history in DC
