Conor McGregor reportedly secured $23 million investment from Trump family in MMA venture amid talks of UFC returning to the White House

Conor McGregor has reportedly secured a $23 million investment from the Trump family in his New York Stock Exchange-listed company, MMA Inc.

The investment is being made through a related entity and Donald Trump Jr., who has already committed an initial amount of more than $4 million. An additional US$20 million has been committed in planned share purchases, bringing the total investment package to US$23 million.

The funds are directed to Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited, which operates across combat sports technology, gym equipment, wellness initiatives and structured training programmes. Trump Jr. is expected to play an active role as a strategic advisor, working alongside McGregor on expansion plans, product development, and engagement-based programs targeting a global audience.

While Donald Trump’s name is closely linked to the deal, the operational involvement centers around Trump Jr. rather than the President of the United States himself. Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, Trump Jr. said:

MMA Inc said the partnership “will create one of the world’s first truly beneficial, large-scale Web3 economies in sports, bringing blockchain-powered engagement to a global community of fans, coaches, athletes and gyms.”

The timing of the investment has fueled persistent rumors of McGregor’s potential UFC return on a planned White House card in 2026. However, the business deal is separate from any fight negotiations and is not tied to government funding or event purses.

Michael Chandler has fired an early shot at Conor McGregor ahead of rumors of a clash at the White House

Michael Chandler is leaning into the growing buzz around a potential bout with Conor McGregor at a proposed UFC event at the White House in June. Speaking during the New Year’s Eve broadcast, the former lightweight title challenger hinted that plans for the long-awaited showdown may finally go ahead.

Chandler and McGregor were previously booked to fight after training for a season The ultimate fighter. But the match collapsed due to McGregor’s injury.

While teasing the fight during a recent CBS broadcast, Chandler said:

“I will say it’s going to be a big year. No. 1, like I said, UFC is now on Paramount+ for the next several years, and there’s also a rumor going around, which we can’t confirm or deny, but it feels like I might give Conor McGregor an old-fashioned, sentimental red, white and blue ass whooping on the South Lawn of the White House sometime this summer. That’s the plan. Let’s go.”
