Conor McGregor Offered $100m To Headline White House UFC Event

The former UFC champion, Conor McGregor has revealed he has been handed a staggering $100 million offer to return to the octagon in one of the most unusual venues imaginable, the White House.

Conor McGregor has shared details of the proposal, which includes not just a nine-figure payday but also 100 of Donald Trump’s so-called “gold card visas,” each valued at $1 million and granting permanent residency in the United States.

The event, being described as a “spectacle for the ages,” is set to take place on the South Lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2026. It forms part of a grand celebration to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Conor McGregor, who has long been associated with the fight game, is reportedly pushing hard to make the sports event happen. Earlier this month, his close friend and UFC chief executive Dana White visited the White House to pitch the idea. According to insiders, the plan is to stage one of the most high-profile fights in the sport’s history as the centrepiece of the anniversary.

The Irish mixed martial artist, who has not fought since stepping away from the sport, appears to have been swayed by the eye-watering package. Announcing the news on 𝕏, he wrote: “$100 100million to fight at the White House, along with 100 U.S ‘Golden Visas’ for myself and family and friends. I look forward to entertaining the fighting world once again. A pleasure I never take for granted!”

The 36-year-old’s revelation has already set social media buzzing, with fans speculating about who his potential opponent could be. For McGregor, it would mark a dramatic return to the spotlight after years of speculation about whether he would ever fight again.

If confirmed, the bout would not only secure McGregor one of the richest paydays in combat sports but also etch his name into history books as part of a once-in-a-lifetime UFC spectacle on the White House lawn.
