Michael Bisping recently expressed his thoughts on the potential UFC event at the White House, which garnered significant attention and sparked reactions from fans.
A few days ago, US President Donald Trump announced the possibility of hosting a UFC event on the White House lawn in 2026. In response, Bisping remarked that if Democrats were in charge instead of Republicans like Trump, the UFC White House fight card would likely feature a wider variety of competitors, rather than just American fighters.
Speaking in a recent video on his YouTube channel, 'The Count' said:
"If Democrats were involved, if they were running the White House now, there would have been a lot of female fighters. It would also have a lot of international flavors... But it’s Republican, it’s Trump, so they would put a lot of Americans there."

Michael Bisping believes Jon Jones and Conor McGregor would feature at potential UFC White House card
In the aforementioned video on his YouTube channel, Michael Bisping also discussed the possible fighters for the UFC White House card. Suggesting that Jon Jones might come out of retirement to headline the event, and Conor McGregor could feature in the co-main event, Bisping said:
"If there is one fight, there's one location that Jon Jones would come out of retirement for... That would be the main event at the White House. Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall, England vs. USA, all over again."
He added:
"Co-main event, McGregor already has his hand up... If there is a spot, if there is a place, it's the White House... And of course, taking on Michael Chandler, who was just destroyed by Paddy Pimblett... If Conor comes back... I think he would probably beat Michael Chandler."
