Image via: thenotoriousmma/Instagram McGregor may finally be plotting his long-awaited return to the UFC, and he's setting his sights on one of the most historic stages ever imagined for a mixed martial arts event: the White House lawn. After multiple false starts and extended time away from the Octagon, McGregor has reportedly re-entered the UFC's anti-doping testing pool— potentially lining himself up for the promotion's highly anticipated White House card set for July 4, 2026. In one story, McGregor shared, 'Blood tester on my yacht.' The next caption reads, 'Blood from shoulder.'

But according to David Feldman, president of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and a close associate of McGregor, the Irishman has re-entered the pool. 'He told me in person,' Feldman shared on The MMA Hour. '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.'' McGregor himself confirmed the move.

The buzz centers around former President Donald Trump's plan to host a UFC supercard on July 4, 2026, to mark America's 250th birthday. Trump has maintained a close relationship with UFC President Dana White and has attended numerous fights in recent years.

Cong walks out over ‘false cases' against MLAs

Bhopal: The Congress staged a walkout from the Madhya Pradesh assembly on Tuesday after the state govt declined to order a probe into FIRs filed against Abhay Mishra, party MLA from Rewa, and the son of Alirajpur MLA Sena Patel. The issue was raised during Zero Hour, with both Mishra and Patel alleging that the cases were fabricated to intimidate Congress leaders, and keep them under check. While the case against Mishra was registered for allegedly assaulting a person, an attempt to murder case was registered against Patel's son. After the two Congress MLAs had spoken, Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar asked whether it was a ploy to silence the Opposition MLAs, and said he had briefed the chief minister about both the cases in the presence of the assembly speaker, but no probe has been ordered to ascertain the facts of the two cases. Speaker Narendra Tomar said the complaints of two Congress MLAs have been brought to the notice of the chief minister, and he must be doing something about it. Singhar, however, said there has been no action in the matter 24 hours after the issue was discussed with the chief minister, and demanded an announcement of independent probe in both the cases on the floor of the House. Legislative affairs minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said the issue has been brought to the notice of the chief minister, and it was he who will take a decision on it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rare, Refined, and Ready Soon – Monte South is the Answer Monte South A Joint Venture between Adani Realty and Marathon Realty Learn More Undo "The House or anyone else can't take a decision on the issue," he said.
