McGregor: en marcha las negociaciones para su regreso a la UFC, flexible en torno al evento de la Casa Blanca

Conor McGregor reveló negociaciones en curso con la UFC para un regreso en verano, expresando flexibilidad en torno a la cartelera de la Casa Blanca anunciada recientemente para el 14 de junio de 2026. El ex campeón de dos divisiones desestimó rumores de encabezar el histórico evento, pero confirmó un regreso 'en algún momento del verano'. Compartió la actualización fuera de su restaurante Black Forge en Irlanda.

A sus 37 años, McGregor no ha peleado desde que se rompió la pierna contra Dustin Poirier en julio de 2021. Un combate planeado para 2024 con Michael Chandler fue cancelado debido a una lesión en el dedo del pie durante el entrenamiento, y una suspensión por prueba de drogas lo deja inactivo hasta finales de marzo de 2026.  nn“Estoy en negociaciones con el Ultimate Fighting Championship sobre la pelea, ya sea la Casa Blanca o por allí”, le dijo McGregor a DrinkLitt. “En algún momento del verano, McGregor regresará.”  nnLos informes sugieren que se saltará la cartelera de la Casa Blanca en el South Lawn en Washington, D.C., con la International Fight Week en julio como otra opción. McGregor visitó previamente la Casa Blanca para reunirse con el presidente Donald Trump y expresó interés inicial en el evento. Fuera de las peleas, posee una participación en el Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).  nnEsto sigue al rechazo del presidente de la UFC, Dana White, a los rumores de McGregor contra Chandler para la cartelera y se produce en medio del patrón de regresos demorados de McGregor.
