McGregor vs Gaethje pitched for White House event

Ali Abdelaziz has proposed matching Conor McGregor with Justin Gaethje at the White House event reportedly scheduled for June 14, 2026.

The manager publicly criticized McGregor and presented the fight as a prime attraction for the U.S. birthday celebration.

Gaethje is due to face Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title at UFC 324 on January 24, 2026, which would affect his availability for any later spectacle.

Abdelaziz says McGregor has declined the matchup several times and that the promotion advised him to stop pushing the idea, according to his remarks.

The proposal is being discussed as a potential marquee bout but remains speculative until UFC 324 concludes.
