Terence Crawford’s victory over Canelo Alvarez sent shockwaves through boxing, and Conor McGregor was quick to add his thoughts.

Conor McGregor vows his return at UFC White House card

Conor McGregor is determined to headline the UFC’s first-ever event at the White House in June 2026. The former two-division champion has been sidelined since July 2021 after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier, with a subsequent toe injury delaying his comeback further.

The announcement of President Donald Trump’s America 250 celebration, which will feature a UFC card on the White House lawn, reignited McGregor’s push to compete again. He has already re-entered the UFC’s anti-doping program to show that his intent is serious.

UFC CEO Dana White has suggested McGregor’s involvement is likely, though no opponents have been confirmed. Talking about his return in an interview with Adam Glym, McGregor said:

“I’m ecstatic! The Mac is back and what better event than to grace the White House lawn for a straightener. What I do best. I’m very, very excited. Very eager. Very motivated. Bring it on, baby.”
