Out of action since 2021, when he was defeated by Dustin Poirier for the second time, the Irishman has fueled speculation about a possible participation in the UFC White House.

In a video posted to his Instagram stories, Michael Chandler stated that the fight is already underway and that McGregor has started a specific training camp, bringing in coaches and sparring partners to replicate his fighting style. The American also reinforced that the bout is scheduled for June, on the South Lawn of the White House, at a special event promoted by the organization.

Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor have come close to facing each other in the UFC. The veterans were coaches on the 32nd season of TUF and were scheduled to share the octagon in the main event of UFC 303. However, on that occasion, the Irishman was forced to withdraw from the fight due to a little finger injury, and the duel ended up being replaced by the rematch between Alex Poatan and Jiri Prochazka.
