McGregor last fought in 2021, but the noise around his name has never faded. The timing aligns with growing buzz around a UFC event at the White House next year, part of America’s 250th Independence Day celebration.

That card is building hype fast, with both McGregor and Jon Jones teasing interest. McGregor has pitched the idea to Dana White directly, and both sides have seemingly left the door open.

Reacting to McGregor’s AI-generated image of facing off with the American in front of the White House, Chandler wasted no time letting fans know he’s all in. He told TMZ that if there’s an event at the White House, he wants in badly. He said:

"Conor's the guy. Conor's the guy that I want to fight. At this point, it feels like we have to finish The Ultimate Fighter... You know, I've remained neutral on it [regarding McGregor's return to action]...Um, obviously if you look at Connor, the way he is operating, what he's doing, how he's been in some hot water here and there, headlines."

He added:

"Does he fight again? I don't know. You know, so I can tell you this, I'm not necessarily waiting... So, you know, I would like to see him come back. I think the UFC would like to see him come back. I think the combat sports world would like to see him come back. And I do think that he doesn't want to end his career back in what was it, July of 2021, when he broke his leg."
