Dana White walks back claim of ‘nonstop’ talk with Conor McGregor — ‘We have not talked about one fight on UFC White House card’

Now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag, White is changing his tune. In fact, the Las Vegas fight boss insists he’s yet to have a single conversation about the CBS-televised event, expected for June 2026.

“We’re not even looking at the White House card until February,” White told reporters at Tuesday’s “Contender Series” media scrum. “We have literally not talked about one fight on the White House card yet. We won’t even start until February. And then whether [McGregor is] available or not, talk to Novitzky about that.”

Jeff Novitzky is Senior Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance for UFC.

We’ll find out (one way or the other) next March.
