AI Summary:
Conor McGregor announced a new business partnership with Donald Trump Jr. McGregor continues to plot his return to sports promotion after a broken leg forced him out of action four years ago. "We are set to amplify our message and accelerate our commercialism like never before!" McGregor wrote in a post on X. Donald Trump announced that the White House would host a UFC cage fight on the South Lawn next year. Trump teased the mixed martial arts event in July, saying that he wanted more than 20,000 fans to attend. Almost immediately after that announcement, McGregor registered his interest in competing in the event. McGregor lost a civil jury appeal against a finding that he had raped Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel room in 2018. He was ordered to pay £206,000 (€237,946) in damages plus costs to Hand but his lawyers argued his answers to police shouldn’t have been put before the jury. At the beginning of this year, a lawsuit was filed against McGregor, accusing him of sexually assaulting a 49-year-old woman. McGregor was a guest at Trump's inauguration in January. Previously, he also courted leaders in the East, sparking controversy in 2018. McGregor has also made a bid to get in on the game by announcing his intention to run for president of Ireland. McGregor is "too controversial a figure" for this to happen again. There are no 20 Oireachtas members who would back his bid. McGregor may have been the first UFC fighter to hold championships in two weight classes simultaneously.
