Conor McGregor’s next fight? UFC Legend he’s never faced hints at major White House news

Jorge Masvidal has fuelled speculation after revealing that an announcement regarding his fighting future is close. Masvidal recently declined a boxing opportunity, suggesting he did not want to jeopardise a potential UFC return.

Speaking to MMA Junkie, the former welterweight title challenger stopped short of confirming a bout with McGregor but made it clear that something significant is in motion. Masvidal said he is training for “something very big,” adding that news would likely be revealed within days. He also referenced his high-profile political connections, a comment that has only intensified talk of a possible event linked to the White House.

Nate Diaz trilogy remains a familiar fallback

Despite Masvidal’s comments, the UFC still has other proven options at its disposal. A third fight with Nate Diaz remains one of the promotion’s most reliable blockbuster matchups, capable of drawing global attention at short notice. McGregor and Diaz are tied at one win apiece, and a trilogy bout has long been viewed as an easy switch to pull if negotiations elsewhere stall.

For now, McGregor maintains that the identity of his opponent is secondary to simply stepping back into competition. With White House rumours, returning stars, and multiple big-name scenarios in play, clarity may arrive soon — but until then, the question of who faces “The Notorious” next remains one of the UFC’s biggest talking points.
