US EditionDana White Has 'Trust' in Conor McGregor for UFC White House
Dana White trusts Conor McGregor's reliability and history of stepping up for fights over Jon Jones, despite Jones recently rejoining the drug testing pool for the UFC White House event.
- On July 4, 2026, the UFC will host its first White House fight card in Washington, D.C., and Dana White said he trusts Conor McGregor over Jon Jones.
- The idea originated in July when President Donald Trump announced plans for a UFC event on the South Lawn to mark the USA’s 250th birthday, with McGregor and Jones expressing interest.
- Reliability records show McGregor has always delivered unless injured, while Jones’ history includes last-minute withdrawals at UFC 151, raising trust doubts.
- With almost twelve months until that event, White said he will meet President Donald Trump later this month to finalize plans, fueling fan anticipation.
- The UFC secured a $7.7billion broadcast deal with Paramount and CBS, ending pay-per-view and making the White House event likely free-to-air, in recent years.
