Conor McGregor could finally make UFC return in blockbuster event as leaked DM sends fans into meltdown

Conor McGregor has teased a monstrous fight as he plots his UFC return.

Conor McGregor has proposed his UFC return to take place at a mega event after leaking his DMs with Dana White.

McGregor hasn't fought since his crushing TKO defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.

He was supposed to headline last summer's UFC 303 until a toe injury forced him out of his Las Vegas showdown against Michael Chandler.

The 'Notorious' has yet to receive a new date or opponent since pulling out last year.

But McGregor wants a spot on the White House UFC card after Donald Trump teased a blockbuster event at his Washington residence.

Speaking at a rally in Iowa, US president Trump revealed his plans to host a UFC event at the White House next year as part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations.

He said UFC CEO White will build the event which will feature a 'championship fight' in front of '20,000-25,000 people'.

Trump said: "We're going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. Dana's going to do it."

Of course, the idea is at a very, very early stage, but McGregor is eyeing a place on the card and even messaged White.

He took to social media to share a screenshot of his DM to White, who can be seen reacting to a voice note, accompanied with the caption: "He loves it!"

"I LOVE IT," says the UFC boss in the screenshot.

In another post on X, McGregor added: "Happy 4th of July, USA. Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House.

"I would be honoured! Count me in!"

The 36-year-old fighting at the White House could break every record in UFC history and fans are understandably very excited about the prospect.

One X user wrote: "Conor vs Topuria at the White House!"

A second said: "Retirement fight on the White House lawn sounds pretty epic to me."

A third added: "Conor, you will break the internet."

McGregor hasn't fought in almost four years and hasn't won a UFC fight since January 2020 when he stopped Donald Cerrone.

The Irishman is pals with Trump so he could be granted a spot on the White House card if the extravagant plans come through.

He linked up with Trump at the White House in a St. Patrick's Day meeting this year.
