Conor McGregor (37, Ireland) will play in the White House match. The family of U.S. President Donald Trump (79) has officially made a large investment.

The Irish media 'Irish Sun' reported on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that "McGregor further solidified the relationship by attracting a large amount of investment from the U.S. president's family."

McGregor-owned martial arts union MMA Inc has reportedly received an investment from investment group American Ventures. American Ventures is known as an investment vehicle used by the family of U.S. President Trump, and is directly related to Donald Trump Jr.

According to a recent stock filing from American Ventures, the Trump family invested $3 million (about 4.3 billion won) in the initial funds into MMA Inc. The contract includes provisions to purchase up to $20 million (about 29 billion won) worth of additional shares under certain conditions in the future.

According to local reports, the total investment amounted to 23 million dollars (about 33.3 billion won). Trump Jr. is also on the list of investors. As a strategic advisor, he will help expand the business with McGregor.

McGregor welcomed Trump Jr., calling him a "friend and business partner" on his personal social networking service (SNS). Even McGregor-owned MMA Inc is understood to have signed an MOU with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company with close ties to the Trump family.

The investment is interpreted as a trend to confirm McGregor's participation in the UFC White House. McGregor recently expressed his willingness to play in the White House match, saying, "I'm not negotiating with the UFC as usual for this match, but with the U.S. government on behalf of Ireland."

McGregor is already sweating for his first comeback in about five years. According to Irish media 'Irish Star', coach John Kavanagh, who has been with McGregor for a long time, said, "McGregor is increasing his training intensity with the goal of participating in the UFC event at the White House in June. He arrived at the gym first thing almost every morning and is training."

McGregor spent his hiatus after the 2021 game against Dustin Poirier (USA) due to injuries and drug testing issues. The suspension will be lifted in March this year and the road to return will be reopened.

It has been confirmed that the White House will hold a tournament. According to USA Today and others, President Trump personally announced, "We will hold a UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States." The event will be held in June, when President Trump's birthday is held.

Coach Kavanagh said, "McGregor is ready to fight all opponents, but what is certain is that he wants to be on the White House card," adding, "We have already formed training partners tailored to the schedule and the style of expected opponents such as Michael Chandler."

UFC CEO Dana White said, "After the first competition at Paramount, we will plan a White House match in February," and predicted, "It will be the greatest match in history."

Currently, not only McGregor but also two weight champions Islam Makachev (Russia) have expressed their intention to participate, saying, "I want to fight in the White House."
