Conor McGregor calls for "$100 million" to fight at UFC White House card

Conor McGregor hasn't competed in the UFC octagon since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. Although he was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 last year, he had to withdraw due to a toe injury. Despite the hiatus, McGregor is confident about garnering attention in his return bout, as he called for $100 million to fight at the UFC White House card.

"$100 million to fight at the White House, along with 100 U.S “Golden Visas” for myself and family and friends. I look very forward to entertaining the fighting world once again. A pleasure I never take for granted!"
