Ever since Trump first announced the idea, there have been great speculation about what matches could occur in the country’s capital, where the most popular potential bouts were Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall and Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler.
White once entrusted that almost everyone on the UFC program list wants to get the call for the event and buffer repeated these feelings.
“Every fighter on the guard schedule wants to fight at that event,” Buffer said. “Conor McGregor, he always says, ‘I will return, I will return.’ And we haven’t seen from him with everything he has done over the past few years, but if it’s an event, he’ll come back on, it would make it big.

White has long credited Trump for having helped grow UFC to what it is today. In a recent appearance at Logan Paul’s podcast, White said Trump supported the business when “venues would not have us” and “sponsors [and] The television was afraid of us. “
“So the way he supported us at first was great. And everything that happened to me in my career, he would be the first guy to reach out,” White said.
But White has catapulted UFC for a must-watch staple, making a deal worth almost $ 8 billion to have leading events at Paramount Plus.
“When Dana took over because we were almost dead before Dana took over as far as a sport, and when ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ first happened with Forrest Griffin and Stefan Bonner, when almost 15 million eye buns looked at this match, and under the leadership and guidance of Dana, he is a maverick,” Buffer said of the UFC president. “He has Midas Touch, he has taken it to the place it is. Thank goodness he has passion and power and nonstop — energy to keep it going. I am proud to be on the UFC rake -in -off that is piloted by Dana White and everyone at the top and has my first class seat to continue where it goes all the way to the white house and beyond.
