McGregor Praises UFC Freedom 250 Before Mcgregor Vs Holloway

Conor McGregor praised UFC Freedom 250 and the United States on X on the night of mcgregor vs holloway planning chatter, even though he was not on the White House card. The former featherweight and lightweight champion wrote, “Good luck to the @ufc team tonight for their “Freedom 250” event at the White House! What a company! God bless America”.

White House Card Without McGregor

UFC Freedom 250 was staged at the White House in Washington, D.C., as part of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence from British colonial rule. McGregor had previously hinted that his comeback could land on the card, but he was not included.

The event instead centered on a lightweight title unifier between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Michael Chandler, another fighter once linked to McGregor, was scheduled to face Mauricio Ruffy on the same card.

Fan Reaction On X

The post drew a quick response from fans who connected it back to McGregor’s next booking. One X user said McGregor and Jon Jones should have been on the card, while another wrote, “Wish you were here...this weekend in DC has been insane.”

Another netizen pushed the conversation toward his next fight, writing, “Easy win against Max Holloway next month.” That reaction fit the timeline around McGregor’s return, because the UFC said he would headline UFC 329 during International Fight Week.

McGregor last fought in 2021, and his most recent booked fight fell apart at UFC 303 in June 2024 after he suffered a toe injury. His only later-facing result in the public record is still the 2013 unanimous decision win over Holloway, while the rematch is set as a welterweight bout at UFC 329.
