McGregor Eyes White House Fight, Bypasses UFC Channels
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the combat sports world, Conor McGregor appears to be bypassing traditional channels and directly negotiating a potential fight at the White House with President Donald Trump. Sources indicate that McGregor is pursuing a deal that could be worth a staggering $200 million.
This unprecedented approach sees McGregor seemingly sidestepping UFC President Dana White, who is reportedly supportive of the idea. Instead, the Irish superstar is reportedly treating the negotiations as a high-level diplomatic endeavor.
The news comes on the heels of McGregor's appearance at BKFC 81 in Manchester, where he was visibly energized. During post-fight interviews, McGregor discussed the White House fight, while also hinting at potential future bouts with other fighters. He praised the performance of Terence Crawford, and also mentioned Mike Perry and James DeGale.
McGregor's behavior at the BKFC event, where he appeared to overshadow DeGale's bare-knuckle debut, further underscores his multifaceted approach to his career. He is juggling his BKFC ownership duties, plotting his return to the octagon, and now, seemingly, engaging in international diplomacy. This shift suggests a transition from a focus on fighting to a broader business empire.
BNN's Perspective:
While McGregor's ambition is undeniable, the direct approach to the White House raises questions about the practicality and potential implications of such a deal. The move, if successful, could redefine the landscape of combat sports, but it also carries significant risks. It remains to be seen whether this bold strategy will pay off, or if it will ultimately prove to be a misstep.
