McGregor has visited The White House before. This past March, the former two-division UFC champion was a guest at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and even had the chance to speak to the media about his own political aspirations in Ireland. Prior to that visit, Trump had praised McGregor in a conversation with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

The UFC, once a sport few networks wanted to televise, has grown into one of the most popular and talked-about sports worldwide. While CEO Dana White has played a huge role in this growth, the fighters themselves have been the true driving force behind its rise.

Several UFC fighters have already offered to fight in front of Donald Trump at the White House, including Conor McGregor.
