Donald Trump impromptu announced a potential UFC card at the White House next July 4. MMA is a solitary pursuit. Fighters step into the Octagon chasing paychecks, social media clout and the chance to emerge with minimal physical damage — a trifecta of self-interest.

UFC president Dana White announced that Jon Jones will likely be featured in the promotion's highly-anticipated event held at the White House next year

White hinted that there “could be” a scenario where Jones and McGregor could fight on the same card. McGregor has not competed in a UFC octagon since losing to Dustin Poirier (twice) in 2021.
