UFC White House dream card featuring Conor McGregor, Alex Pereira, and Ronda Rousey

Tom Aspinall vs. Alex Pereira — main event

If at all possible, UFC White House should most definitely feature a headliner for the biggest prize in the sport, between Tom Aspinall and Alex Pereira.

Likely the biggest fight the promotion can host of this era, an undisputed heavyweight championship fight between Aspinall and newly-crowned light heavyweight kingpin Pereira most certainly sells itself.

Long staking his claim for a shot at the heavyweight crown, Pereira echoed that desire off the back of his hellacious knockout of Magomed Ankalaev over the weekend at UFC 320.

Notably, British star Aspinall must first get past former interim gold holder Ciryl Gane in an intriguing matchup at UFC 321 later this month.

However, if he does, the UFC must pull the trigger on a pairing of Aspinall and Pereira — instantly, in fact — in a bid to prevent another fiasco akin to Aspinall’s failed showdown with Jon Jones.

Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler — co-main event

Seemingly almost rubber-stamped to fight in Washington next summer, former two-division champion Conor McGregor has voiced his expectation to compete at The White House in his return to the UFC.

Booking the Dubliner in a co-main event clash would mark the first time since 2014 that McGregor has not topped a card during his time in the Octagon.

To boot, the unfinished business with former lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler needs to be put to bed firmly.

And what better setting for that grudge match than the lawns of The White House next summer, with McGregor edging closer to an exit from the UFC in his long-anticipated bid to compete in the BKFC before too long.

Ronda Rousey — wildcard

Hear me out on this one.

Inaugural bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been tirelessly linked with a return to the UFC since her retirement from combat sports back in 2016.

Out of action since her staggering knockout loss to Amanda Nunes, Rousey traded the Octagon for the ring, competing in professional wrestling — with rumors of an eventual return to mixed martial arts rife since her exit.

Throwing the Riverside veteran into an immediate title fight feels like a difficult sell, despite the eye-catching matchup opposite Kayla Harrison.

I feel a potential trilogy with fellow ex-champion Miesha Tate is the more interesting option for Rousey, particularly with the aforementioned White so complimentary on her recent upturn in training.
