Conor McGregor Confirmed for Summer 2026 MMA Return at White House
Irish MMA sensation Conor McGregor has confirmed his return to the sport after a lengthy hiatus. The former two-division champion will compete in a high-profile event in Washington D.C. in summer 2026, coinciding with the United States' 250th anniversary.
McGregor, who last fought in 2021, has been teasing a comeback for some time. He believes his return will boost support for the Irish people. The event, likely to be organized by the UFC, will take place at the White House grounds, as preparations are underway, confirmed by President Trump.
The 38-year-old has signed documents for the deal and is currently in a six-month training period. His opponent is rumoured to be American Michael Chandler, although no official announcement has been made. McGregor is known for his bold statements and impulsive actions, including his intention to run for president of Ireland. In 2024, he attempted a comeback but the fight fell through due to his refusal.
Conor McGregor's return to the MMA world in 2026 is highly anticipated. Fans can expect a thrilling event at the White House, celebrating both the United States' 250th anniversary and the Irish fighter's comeback. With preparations in full swing and McGregor in training, all eyes are on the Notorious one's return to the octagon.
