Dana White dismisses rumors of Conor McGregor fighting Jorge Masvidal at the UFC White House card, indicating no knowledge of such plans and emphasizing that most online speculation about the sport is inaccurate.
Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal at the UFC White House card? Dana White’s got no clue about it.
Rumors flew after UFC CEO dismissed McGregor facing Michael Chandler in 2026. Masvidal popped up as a potential opponent, reigniting old tensions with McGregor.
Matchmaking for the White House card? Not happening until UFC 324 wraps up. White just laughed off the McGregor-Masvidal rumor.
“I don’t listen to any of the goofy shit. It’s goofy shit,” White told TMZ. He’s not buying into the internet chatter about MMA.
White rarely hears these rumors. “In my algorithm on Instagram, I have nothing MMA,” he said. Surprising, right?
McGregor wants back on the White House card after his 2021 fight with Dustin Poirier ended with a nasty leg break.
He was set to return in 2024 against Chandler, but a broken toe in training derailed that plan.
McGregor’s been sharing training updates, aiming for the June 14 card. But White’s nixed Chandler and Masvidal, at least for now.
White plans to finalize the top three fights for the White House event post-UFC 324, aiming for a complete lineup by mid-February.
