White dismisses McGregor vs Masvidal rumors

On Jan 21, 2026, UFC president Dana White dismissed recent speculation about a Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal meeting, calling the chatter ridiculous and something he does not follow.

Masvidal had reportedly suggested he was in talks about facing McGregor — a matchup that has been mentioned intermittently since 2020 — but White indicated the discussions were not concrete.

White also confirmed he rejected a Michael Chandler matchup for the UFC White House card earlier this week, which fueled fresh debate over McGregor’s next opponent.

He added he does not know if McGregor will return and said the promotion expects to begin formal matchmaking after UFC 324.
