**Conor McGregor Eager for UFC Fight at the White House in 2024**
Conor McGregor, the renowned UFC fighter, has not stepped into the octagon since July 2021, but he appears to be eyeing a significant event next year. Following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a UFC fight scheduled to take place on the White House grounds, McGregor expressed his enthusiasm to participate via social media.
“Happy 4th of July, USA. Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!” McGregor shared on X, later reposting it alongside a photo of himself with Trump in the Oval Office.
In March, McGregor revealed his intention to run for president of Ireland, and he followed up his recent post with a bold prediction about participating in the White House fight as the sitting president. “July 4th next year is a Saturday, regarding President Trump’s UFC White House event. I will be reigning President of Ireland just under 1 year when I step out on the lawns of the White House to throw down. Epic proportions! Or as I like to call it, Tuesday at the office. Vote McGregor,” he stated on X.
Earlier this year, McGregor visited the White House, where he criticized the Irish government, highlighting the issues faced by the people of Ireland. “Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland, and it’s high time that America is made aware of what’s going on in Ireland. What is going on in Ireland is a travesty. Our government is a government of zero action and zero accountability,” he remarked during an appearance with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Regarding his fighting career, McGregor has been vocal about his desire to return to the octagon, especially after a training injury halted his comeback last June. In April, he emphasized that he would only return for a major stadium event, stating, “I’ll only come back to a stadium,” following WrestleMania 41, which took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
At 36 years old, McGregor’s last fight was in 2021, where he suffered a defeat against Dustin Poirier after breaking his leg. He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June, but that matchup was canceled due to a toe injury sustained during training.
As McGregor looks ahead to potential opportunities in both politics and sports, fans are eager to see how his ambitions unfold in the coming year.
