With the UFC White House card confirmed, Conor McGregor now claims he has been offered an opponent and a date for his return to the Octagon.
According to Dana White, the Irishman has a chance of a place on the UFC White House Card. Over the weekend, White also confirmed that matchmaking is set for June 14 and they will have two options to choose from.
McGregor, meanwhile, has been called in since the UFC White House event was announced. He’s back in the testing pool, has committed to taking up residence in the gym and is doing everything he can to make a successful return to the octagon.
Recently, “The Notorious” posted on X claiming that he was offered an opponent and a date for his comeback, which he accepted. However, he is still waiting for his contract.
“I have been offered an opponent and a date, and I accept. “Wait for my contract.”
Earlier this year, the Irishman had stated during a Roblox stream that he would have to sign a new contract after the UFC’s deal with Paramount, as his previous one was based on pay-per-view sales and the pay-per-view model is no longer in effect in most places.
Who could be Conor McGregor’s next opponent?
Conor McGregor last fought at UFC 264 in 2021, where he broke his leg in round 1 during his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier. After recovery and rehabilitation, he was head coach on TUF 31 opposite Michael Chandler in 2023. In 2024, at UFC 303, McGregor and Chandler were set to headline the pay-per-view until the Dubliner decided to withdraw due to a toe injury.
Although fans expected that when McGregor returns he would fight Chandler, Dana White is no longer interested in this fight in 2026.
So, since Conor McGregor claims he received an offer in the now-deleted X-post, it will be interesting to see who the opponent is.
Names like Mauricio Ruffy and Nate Diaz have already expressed interest in facing ‘The Notorious’. Even Jorge Masvidal had expressed his desire to compete for the White House card and face McGregor. However, “Gamebred” recently unveiled that he will not be part of the June 14 event.
