Rumors about a possible next fight for Conor McGregor are intensifying against the backdrop of preparations for a UFC tournament that may take place at the White House. Representatives of Jorge Masvidal have opened the possibility of a match against the Irishman if the previously scheduled fight with Michael Chandler does not happen.
Ali Abdel-Aziz, Masvidal's manager and head of Dominance MMA, noted that organizing such a fight would be quite simple and it would undoubtedly generate significant interest among MMA fans. The upcoming tournament at the White House could be timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, which adds special significance and appeal for the promotion.
Additionally, Abdel-Aziz proposed an alternative matchup – a fight between Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje, emphasizing that this rivalry is of fundamental importance and does not require a title belt. He also expressed doubts about whether McGregor will return to the octagon and whether he still holds the same influence in the UFC.
It is possible that a meeting between McGregor and Masvidal could take place outside the UFC, perhaps in a bare-knuckle fighting format. At this moment, a final decision on McGregor's next step has not yet been made, but interest in his return remains high.
