McGregor's White House Return: Who's Next?

Conor McGregor has reiterated his intention to return to the Octagon in 2026, almost five years after his last fight in July 2021. This comeback comes after recent developments in potential matchups.

UFC President Dana White recently confirmed that a fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler is no longer being considered. This decision has reopened the discussion about who will face the popular fighter upon his return. Simultaneously, Jorge Masvidal has added fuel to the fire, hinting at significant fight news in the coming days and suggesting he is training for something substantial.

While a third bout with Nate Diaz remains a potential option, Masvidal's cryptic comments, including references to political connections, have intensified speculation about a high-profile event. The exact opponent for McGregor's return remains uncertain, making it a major talking point in the UFC.
