À propos de cet audio

Conor McGregor dominated combat sports headlines this week following UFC President Dana White's definitive rejection of a long-anticipated matchup. According to ESPN and Complex News, White flatly dismissed the prospect of McGregor facing Michael Chandler at the UFC's historic White House event scheduled for June 14. "No, that was a couple of years ago," White stated, effectively closing the door on a fight that has been discussed for nearly three years since the two fighters coached opposing teams on The Ultimate Fighter in 2023. The original bout was scheduled for June 2024 before McGregor withdrew due to a toe injury.
McGregor's reaction came swiftly. According to SportBible, the Irish fighter responded with a now-deleted post on social media stating "Pick who ya want! The Mac sweats nothin and nobody. I'm TASTY SHOTS." The post suggested frustration with White's decision, though McGregor stopped short of fully committing to the White House appearance.
Despite this setback, White left the door open for McGregor's return more broadly, telling Complex, "We'll see if Conor is gonna come back or not. We've been talking about it for a while." According to CBS Sports, the UFC president acknowledged McGregor's serious commitment to a comeback, noting that the fighter officially rejoined the UFC's drug testing pool in August—a mandatory prerequisite for competition.
McGregor hasn't competed since July 2021, when he suffered a leg break against Dustin Poirier. According to ESPN, if he returns at the White House event, it would mark a five-year absence from professional MMA fighting. His recent record stands at three losses in his past four fights, according to multiple sources.
Regarding business ventures, McGregor's net worth remains estimated at approximately 200 million dollars as of 2025-2026, according to Times of India, largely built on his Proper No. Twelve whiskey empire and various endorsement deals. While no new major business announcements emerged this week, McGregor has remained highly visible through social media activity focused on potential fight opportunities and the White House event.
