Conor McGregor (37, Ireland) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48, USA) left the U.S. presidential office and entered the Octagon. UFC CEO Dana White unveiled the detailed plans for the UFC event to be held at the White House in June.

CEO White said in an interview with local media such as 'CBS Mornings' on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), "The White House UFC event will be held in Washington, D.C. on June 14." The fighters will actually walk out of the Oval Office and head to the Octagon," he said.

The size of the competition is beyond imagination. "About 5,000 spectators will enter the White House South Lawn (south lawn)," CEO White said, adding, "85,000 people can gather at Ellips Park across the street. A large screen and stage will be set up there to create a festival where music flows all day. I will make the whole of Washington, D.C., a city of UFC for a week."

In addition, CEO White said, "It will be the greatest match in history," adding that superstars such as John Jones and Sean O'Malley asked to participate in the war.

Even the rematch between McGregor and Mayweather is taking off as the main event on this historic stage.

In particular, McGregor's participation is becoming a fait accompli. British media "Bean Sports" said on the 8th that "McGregor, who is seeking to return to the UFC in 2026, has pointed to the White House as the venue for the rematch against Mayweather, who retired."

McGregor said, "Mayweather, are you ready to play the MMA match you promised. I'm here," he said. "The White House is a great place. "If Mayweather accepts the MMA rule, 10 seconds is enough to win," he provoked.

McGregor and Mayweather previously faced each other in the 12th round of boxing rules in 2017. Mayweather won the KO at the time, but this time McGregor is sticking to his domain, the MMA rule.

The full support of President Donald Trump's family also strengthens McGregor's entry into the White House. According to Irish media 'Irish Sun', the Trump family's investment group American Ventures invested $3 million (about 4.3 billion won) in McGregor-owned 'MMA Inc.' Depending on future conditions, the total investment is expected to reach 23 million dollars (about 33.3 billion won). McGregor showed off his friendship with the Trump family, calling President Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. a "friend and business partner."

McGregor has already begun building up his body to target the White House match. Coach John Kavanagh said, "McGregor is increasing his training intensity with the goal of the White House tournament in June. "I'm the first person to come to the gym every morning and train," he said.

CEO White expressed confidence, saying, "We will begin to draw up a match table in earnest after the UFC 324 tournament on the 24th," adding, "We can look forward to who will be the fighter appearing at the Oval Office."
