"I get it if people don't want to fight for the elitists or however they distribute the tickets, but I just want to fight at the White House. I'm a Latin motherf*cker, from immigrant parents on both sides, putting my crafts and skills on display, at the highest level in the White House lawn. Who's ever done that? Nobody."
"No, that's goofy sh*t. The MMA world, I don't listen to any of that. Literally, none of that is in my algorithm. Some people say, 'Oh, did you hear?' No. Almost everything you see on the internet about our sport is wrong. It's all wrong."
Jorge Masvidal expressed a desire to fight on the White House south lawn and to showcase his skills as the son of immigrant parents. His remarks prompted speculation about a matchup with Conor McGregor. Dana White dismissed McGregor-Masvidal rumors as “goofy sh*t” and said most internet reports about the sport are wrong. Masvidal last fought in MMA in April 2023, losing to Gilbert Burns, and lost a 2024 boxing match to Nate Diaz. Conor McGregor has not competed since suffering a broken leg in 2021. UFC White House is scheduled for June 14, 2026, with no fights announced.
