Conor McGregor Reacts to UFC White House Fight Card Reveal in Trending Post After Snub

Conor McGregor reacted to the fight card of the UFC's upcoming White House event, which was revealed on Saturday.

While McGregor wasn't on the card, he still appeared to be excited for the upcoming series of fights in a pair of posts on X.

The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion previously expressed his desire to be part of the event.

A White House fight between McGregor and Jorge Masvidal was also teased, although it was later shot down by UFC president Dana White.

White confirmed that a potential bout involving McGregor and Michael Chandler wouldn't be on the White House card as well.

McGregor later discussed the UFC's choice to move on from the Chandler fight.

"I feel a bit weird," McGregor said, via Kyle Dimond of Bloody Elbow. "He deserved a go and you know it would be a great fight. It makes sense, it's easy done. It gets me back in there but they veered off it."

Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje will headline the event in a lightweight unification fight instead. Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane are also set to face off for the interim heavyweight championship.

Meanwhile, Chandler will take on Mauricio Ruffy in a lightweight bout.

As for McGregor, he hasn't stepped in the Octagon since losing to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. The 37-year-old holds a 22-6 record, although he's suffered three losses in his past four fights.
