'Count me in': Conor McGregor sets his sights on a historic stage

McGregor even shared a screenshot that looked like a direct message to UFC president Dana White, to which White replied with characteristic enthusiasm: "I LOVE IT!!!!" Whether staged or spontaneous, the back-and-forth felt like classic McGregor — loud, strategic and buzzworthy.

Let’s be honest: McGregor’s career path lately has been anything but linear. One week it's UFC, the next it’s boxing, then rumors swirl about bare-knuckle scraps. Add in his legal issues and it's been hard to separate fact from spectacle. 

But with Trump’s announcement now dangling the idea of a historic fight backdrop, fans might finally see The Notorious back in action.

McGregor still has two fights left on his UFC deal, and a potential White House showdown might be the perfect storm of history, hype, and havoc to bring him roaring back. If this goes down, it won’t just be a return — it’ll be a moment etched into combat sports lore.
