Ahead of the UFC White House 2026 card, Michael Chandler has an idea for the UFC to make the unique event even more memorable.
Rumor has it that Chandler will team up with former UFC doubles champion Conor McGregor on the UFC White House card. However, nothing has been finalized yet, with UFC CEO Dana White announcing that the promotion will begin sorting out this card in February 2026.
McGregor is back in training camp and also in the testing pool, and fans are optimistic about his comeback.
‘The Notorious’ and ‘Iron’ served as opposing coaches on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 31’ in 2023 and were later set to battle at UFC 303 until the Irishman withdrew due to a toe injury. The latter did not arrive octagon for almost four years. Chandler, meanwhile, has fought twice after the UFC 303 fight was canceled and lost both times.
Recently, in an interview with Damon Martin, ‘Iron’ talked about how important it is to be part of the UFC White House 2026 card and fight for President Donald Trump, and that the UFC has the power to make it even more memorable should they come away with the White House belt. He said:
“There’s no leash on the leash, but maybe they’ll come with the White House leash. Something cool for this momentous occasion that we can throw on the shelves in our offices and stuff. That would be great.”

Michael Chandler plans to ‘break’ Conor McGregor.
In the same interview, Michael Chandler revealed his game plan against Conor McGregor. Iron wants to ‘dominate’ and break the Dubliner ‘systematically and surgically’. He said:
“Not just beat Conor, but dominate him and systematically and surgically break the man down… Let me raise my hand right there on the White House lawn. I dreamed it, visualized it.”
Chandler’s last UFC win came in 2022 when he brutally eliminated Tony Ferguson. After that, ‘Iron’ suffered three consecutive defeats.
