Dana White is planning to use the largest UFC show ever in the White House next year and can call two of his biggest stars to make it happen.
The UFC boss was blinded last week by the announcement of President Donald Trump that the promotion would bring a pay-per-view show next year to the famous Lawn of the White House. The event will be part of America's 250th birthday.
White claims that almost the entire UFC selection has argued to fight on the map, including very public campaigns by Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. The duo are the two biggest names that can compete, and both want to fight in the groundbreaking show in Washington, DC.
Dana White could put the comebacks of Jon Jones and Conor McGregor on the same night
In his first major interview since the announcement of the White House event, Dana White sat down with Influencer group The Nelk Boys to discuss the whole of the event. From logistics to potential fights, he came in everything with hosts Kyle Forgear and Aaron 'Steiny' Steinberg.
An important question considered the main event, on which White said that his dream headline was a heavyweight title collision between Jones and Tom Aspinall. When asked if it was possible that McGregor could end in the same account, he replied: “Could everything be.”
“McGregor has received himself at a point where he is and will be, whether he stops fighting or not, one of the greatest superstars in sport, period.” White went on at a later point. “He is a level of success in his life where he, I think, should be motivated by something.
“He has achieved everything and especially financially. Now he has to find something that really motivates him to come back and do this again. I don't know if it is the White House, but we will see.”
When 'Steiny' noticed that McGregor was in the inauguration of President Trump and as such probably considered this an important motivator, White replied: “I don't know, we will see.”
Conor McGregor indicates Return on White House Card on BKFC press conference
Around the same time that the entire episode went live, McGregor was in Hollywood, Florida to stand ahead of a huge BKFC press conference. In addition to all the champions of the promotion, he cut a number of promos and was in the middle of an error and angry stable of hunters.
Conor McGregor: I am as an owner until I can delete my slate. It looks like I'm going to the oval house again.

During the event he was asked about potential fighting within BKFC, for which he repeated the well -known truth that he was chained to a UFC contract. “I am in this as an owner until I can erase my slate.”
However, he also dropped a gold lump over his potential comeback and told the press that “it looks like I'm going to the Oval Office again, so I'm going there.”
