Conor McGregor takes major step towards UFC comeback ahead of White House event
Conor McGregor has taken a huge step towards making his long-awaited UFC return as he sets his sights on a fight at the White House. McGregor has not competed in the UFC since losing back-to-back bouts to Dustin Poirer in 2021, with an anticipated return against Michael Chandler last year falling apart at short notice due to injury. It looked increasingly unlikely that 'The Notorious' would ever be seen in the Octagon again, appearing to make a foray into politics as he pledged to run for Ireland's presidency, while also reiterating his public support for US president Donald Trump. However, with a supercard at the White House now touted for the 250th anniversary of American independence, McGregor has been incentivised to rejoin the UFC testing pool. That's according to business partner David Feldman, president of McGregor-owned promotion BKFC, who told Ariel Helwani of the Irishman's intention to return. 'He told me in person,' Feldman said. 'He whispered in my ear, he said, 'I'm in the testing pool.' He said, 'I'm getting ready to make my comeback. I'm going to fight on that big card and then I'm going to have another fight and then we can talk.'' Trump announced his plans for a UFC fight at the White House for July 4, 2026 in Iowa to kick off this year's independence celebrations, and said the card would include 'a championship fight, full fight, like 20-25,000 people.' The president has attended several UFC fights in recent months and is close friends with Dana White, the president of the world's premier MMA organisation. McGregor paid the White House a visit earlier this year for St Patrick's Day, commending Trump's "inspiring" work ethic, while the president reciprocated by praising McGregor's own work rate, describing him as "fantastic'. The Irishman is a former two-division champion in the UFC but has now become synonymous with his controversies outside of the Octagon. His intention to return to fighting comes only months after a civil-court jury found he had raped a woman in Dublin in 2018. McGregor, who denied a claim that he 'brutally raped and battered' the woman, said he would appeal the verdict, which required him to pay over £200,000 in damages.

Yoel Romero gets date, opponent for BKFC debut
Yoel Romero has inked his bareknuckle boxing debut. The former UFC title challenger is set to make his first appearance for BKFC against Theo Doukas at BKFC 80 on Sept. 12 at Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The bout will be contested at heavyweight. The news of Romero's debut was announced by the promotion on Tuesday. Romero, 48, signed with BKFC in July. He was coming off two KO finishes competing in Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing Championship – which is a striking competition with small gloves but doesn't involve any grappling or groundwork. "The Soldier of God" is mainly known for his 10-year run in the UFC where he fought for the middleweight title multiple times and cemented himself as one of the world's best. After his UFC departure, Romero had a short stint with Bellator and PFL, going 3-2. Although now competing in bareknuckle boxing, Romero told MMA Junkie last month that he's still looking to continue his MMA career. Romero's opponent, Doukas, will also be making his BKFC debut. Doukas has competed four times in MMA, going 2-2. His two victories have come by way of stoppage. He last competed in MMA in April 2024 and was submitted in the second round. He's also 1-0 in boxing.
