Conor McGregor is once again moving the media board by making it clear that he is willing to accept practically any opponent in order to make his return to UFC. In statements collected by ESPN, the Irishman acknowledged that his priority is still to be part of the historic event UFC White House scheduled for June, but that he does not need a big name in front of him to say yes. In fact, he spoke openly about the possibility of fighting a "no name", insisting that what he wants is to compete, not just make headlines. McGregor recalled that he has been out of the octagon since 2021, when he was seriously injured against Dustin Poirier, and that the waiting time has been frustrating for both him and the fans. With this public message, the former two-division champion is pressuring the promoter to send him a contract as soon as possible, while keeping interest alive around him and the UFC's project in the White House. The ideal scenario for him is still that event, but his stance makes it clear that, if necessary, he will accept a less glamorous return in order to finally break his inactivity.
