After more than four years away from the octagon, Conor McGregor has apparently locked in his return for June 2026. The fight will take place on the South Lawn of the White House during celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary, a location that screams McGregor’s trademark theatrics as much as any championship belt ever did.
Conor McGregor’s Next Fight
The opponent is rumored to be Michael Chandler, a welterweight contender McGregor was supposed to face at UFC 303 in June 2024 before withdrawing due to a broken toe. The two built considerable history coaching opposing teams on The Ultimate Fighter, so there’s unfinished business beyond just a rescheduled bout.
