The wrestling site Bloody Elbow reports:
Dana White is on board with Conor McGregor’s offer to return to the octagon on the White House lawn next year. Following the announcement from President Trump, a number of high-profile fighters have thrown their hat into the ring to get on the massive card. And no name has a higher profile than Conor McGregor, who immediately voiced his intentions to compete.
“Happy 4th of July, USA,” he wrote on X, before sharing a photo he took with the President this year. “Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!”
McGregor then shared a screenshot of a private DM conversation with UFC boss Dana White. He appears to have sent two voice notes, to which the executive simply replied “I love it,” in all capital letters.
From a November 2024 BBC report:
A woman who accused Conor McGregor of raping her has won her claim against him for damages in a civil case. A jury found that the Irish mixed martial arts fighter assaulted Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
He has been ordered to pay her more than €248,000 (£206,000) in damages. In a post on X on Friday evening, McGregor said he would appeal against the verdict and he thanked “all my support worldwide”.
After eight days of evidence and three days listening to closing speeches and the judge’s comments, the jury of eight women and four men spent six hours and 10 minutes deliberating before returning with its verdict.
McGregor, who claims to be running for president of Ireland, was trotted out in the White House briefing room for St. Patrick’s Day, where he delivered a lengthy rant against immigrants both in Ireland and in the United States.
Happy 4th of July, USA. 🇺🇸
Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House.
I would be honoured! Count me in! 🤩☘️

Just another reminder this man raped a woman so violently she had to have her tampon removed by a surgeon.

@grok based on Conor’s history of lying, criminal activity, and cocaine addiction, what are his chances of actually fighting?

“Our money is being spent overseas, things that have nothing to do with the Irish people. Illegal immigration is ravaging our country. Rural towns where Irish have become minorities. Irish-Americans need to hear this, we need US leadership.” pic.twitter.com/AmDKfdKgfc
