Chael Sonnen โProposes Landmark UFC Eventโค at the White House
Former UFC contender Chael sonnen suggests a high-profile UFC event couldโ be held at the White House, though not featuring current stars conor McGregor or Jon Jones. Sonnen believes a matchupโข between Islam Makhachev adn Ilia Topuria-a โchampion versus champion โขbout-would be a fitting main event for such a unique location.
The idea surfaced as discussions continue โregarding โthe potential scale of Makhachev versus โTopuria, a fight widely anticipated by fans. Sonnen, speaking recently, posited the โWhite House as an unprecedented venue, potentially eclipsingโ the hype surrounding McGregor’s return. He also floated the possibility of McGregor competing against a notable MMAโฃ athlete currently outside the โฃUFC.
“Youโ keep tellingโ me what a huge fight Ilia Topuriaโ vsโ Islam Makhachev is.โ Does Ilia vs โIslam, champ โvs champ, trump Conor McGregor vs anybody?” Sonnen questioned, highlighting the potential draw of the championship clash.
sonnen specifically mentioned McGregor potentially facing a “legend who’s not in the UFC,” though heโข did not name a specific opponent. The American โbelievesโค McGregor could still secure a prominent spot on the card, even if not headlining the White House event.
