Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor has reportedly secured his spot to fight at the White House, calling it a “done deal.” “Done deal, signed, delivered, it ain’t a negotiation,” the two-time UFC champion said on Hannity Wednesday night. “It can ignite a support for the people of Ireland,” said McGregor, who abandoned his bid to become Ireland’s president in September. When Fox News host Sean Hannity asked if UFC CEO Dana White had signed off on his White House fight, McGregor shared that he was in “constant communication” with White. “We’ve done incredible business together. I’m the highest generating fighter of all time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.” However, McGregor formerly claimed that he was in direct negotiation with the White House rather than the UFC, sharing that he wanted $100 million and 100 “Golden Visas” to fight at the event. In August, White confirmed the event was “absolutely going to happen,” slated for 2026 on July 4 for America’s 250th birthday. The idea of a White House UFC match was first alluded to by President Donald Trump in July. McGregor’s last fight took place in 2021 where he lost to Dustin Poirier. The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.
