Sports news » McGregor Confirms Talks with Trump Regarding UFC Return

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has revealed he is currently in discussions with US President Donald Trump regarding the specifics of his anticipated return to the mixed martial arts cage.

McGregor elaborated on the unusual nature of these high-profile negotiations, explaining his unique role:

“I am not negotiating with the UFC on my own behalf for a fight at this tournament, as I did before. I am negotiating with the US on behalf of Ireland. It’s quite peculiar. But President Donald Trump and his administration fully support me, and I look forward to putting on a real show.”
