The idea of hosting fights on the most famous lawn in America seemed too wild to be true. But Trump and UFC President Dana White are dead serious about making this happen for July 4th, 2026. They want to celebrate America&rsquo;s 250th birthday with the biggest fight card ever assembled.<\/p><p>The announcement has already started pulling fighters out of retirement like a magnet. Two of the biggest names in <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> history are now circling this event like sharks sensing blood in the water. Conor McGregor hasn&rsquo;t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier almost five years ago. Jon Jones just retired as heavyweight champion two weeks ago but changed his mind fast. Both men see this White House card as their chance to cement their legacies on the biggest stage possible.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conor McGregor Gets Back In The Testing Pool<\/h2><p>Conor McGregor has been teasing comebacks for years without actually doing anything about it. He was supposed to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 but pulled out due to injury. Since then, he has frustrated fans and promoters alike. But the White House announcement seems to have lit a fire under him. During a recent interview with The Schmi, McGregor confirmed he&rsquo;s back in the UFC&rsquo;s testing pool.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m going home, going to get the head down, going to rest. They&rsquo;re testing me, I&rsquo;m in the pool! So get ready! And stay ready, because damage will be done! Oval office, White House garden!&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;Now both Conor McGregor and Jon Jones have publicly confirmed that they&rsquo;re back in the testing pool and are targeting a fight on July 4th, 2026, at the UFC White House event. &#127482;&#127480;<br><br>via: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheSchmo312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@TheSchmo312<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espnmma?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@espnmma<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3Cfff2kR7k\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/3Cfff2kR7k<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MMA Pros Pick (@MMA_PROS_PICK_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMA_PROS_PICK_\/status\/1945646618197340455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>McGregor&rsquo;s excitement about the White House event is obvious. The Irish superstar clearly sees this as more than just another fight. It&rsquo;s a chance to perform on American soil in front of the entire world. For someone who loves the spotlight as much as McGregor does, this opportunity is irresistible.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jon Jones Changes His Mind In Record Time<\/h2><p>Jon Jones might have set a record for the fastest retirement reversal in UFC history. Just two weeks after hanging up his gloves and giving up the heavyweight title, he decided he wasn&rsquo;t done after all. The White House announcement was apparently all it took to change his mind.&nbsp;<\/p><p>His sudden retirement raised eyebrows because the timing seemed suspicious. But when Trump announced the White House event, Jones saw an opportunity he couldn&rsquo;t pass up. The former champion is now talking about fighting whoever holds the heavyweight belt at the time of the event. Currently, that&rsquo;s Tom Aspinall, who got promoted to undisputed champion after Jones retired. Ironically, Jones had been avoiding this fight for months before his retirement. Now he&rsquo;s suddenly interested in taking on the Englishman.<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t promise anyone anything, but I have a very strong feeling that I will be on that card. I think it&rsquo;s going to be incredibly iconic. It&rsquo;s going to be historic&hellip;I would want to take on whoever&rsquo;s holding the belt at the end of the year.&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; Jon Jones wants to fight whoever is the heavyweight champion by the end of the year at the White House &#128064;<br><br>&ldquo;As of right now the champion is Tom Aspinall, but we&rsquo;ll see who&rsquo;s the champion at the end of the year.&rdquo;<br><br>&#127909; TT \/ Joy Of Everything <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MMA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#MMA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h6mmCgqqt4\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/h6mmCgqqt4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChampRDS\/status\/1945583541913264502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Jones believes this White House card could be as historic as legendary fights like &ldquo;Thrilla in Manila&rdquo; or &ldquo;The Rumble in the Jungle.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s not wrong about the potential magnitude of the event.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74586"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74586"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74592,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74586\/revisions\/74592"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
