Conor McGregorhas released hints that he confirmed for the UFC White House card for his next fight, and here’s what we know so far. Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has broken down the latest hints that Conor McGregor is preparing to return to theOctagon, and which high‑profile names he views as the most realistic options for the Irish star’s comeback.
McGregor recently posted, then deleted, a message saying he had been offered an opponent, accepted the bout, and was waiting on his contract. Bisping frames this as a deliberate piece of promotion rather than a slip‑up.Michael Bispingexplained:
“He said, ‘I have been offered an opponent and I accept. Waiting on my contract.’ Now that tweet recently got deleted. One would assume, reading between the lines, that he’s telling the truth, that he got the offer, they’ve agreed on an opponent, and he was very excited, so he tweeted it and then realized he wasn’t supposed to say anything yet. He deleted it. It’s a nice little PR move. It generates some interest for Conor McGregor, and the interest for Conor McGregor doesn’t need to be generated. Everyone is still going to tune in.”
Bisping stresses that McGregor’s name alone sells the event, but the deleted tweet keeps the “White House” card speculation at the top of the conversation as the UFC builds toward what could be one of its most politically charged events.
Bisping sees a third fight withNate Diazas one of the most resonant possibilities in the sport. The two have already fought twice, with Diaz submitting McGregor at UFC 196 and then losing a decision at UFC 202 in a fight that drew millions of viewers and helped define both fighters’ legacies.
“Diaz and McGregor are one and the same. Nate Diaz shocked the world when he choked out Conor McGregor, and then they fought again. Connor came back, dropped him with leg kicks, dropped him with every left hand he threw. It was a war, and Diaz made him work. He even had Conor running away at one point because he was getting tired. But the fact of the matter is those were two of the most watched fights in UFC history.”
For Bisping, the trilogy is framed as unresolved drama more than a tight title picture issue.
Diaz has split his focus between MMA and boxing, challenging the likes of Jake Paul and later facingJorge Masvidalin a 10‑round boxing match at the Honda Center, which he won on points. Bisping saw that fight live and acknowledges Diaz earned the decision, even though he personally felt Masvidal edged it.
“Masvidal and Nate Diaz threw down. They went the distance, 10 rounds, and what a fight that was. Nate got the decision. I thought it should have gone to Jorge Masvidal. But it was bloody entertaining and everyone in the building was thrilled—apart from Jorge Masvidal, because he never got paid.”
Masvidal later secured an award of roughly $5.3 million in a lawsuit over unpaid money, underlining the financial and legal stakes that can wrap around Diaz‑linked events.
