MMA veteran Jeremy Stephens wants to fight former UFC double champion Conor McGregor at the White House on June 14. Stephens recently called out the Irishman, and the latter was quick to react to “Lil’ Heathen.”
Stephens returned to the UFC in 2025, faced Mason Jones, and lost by unanimous decision. With that defeat, he became tied with Clay Guida for the most losses in UFC history.
Yet, “Lil’ Heathen” has big plans and refuses to let setbacks define his legacy. He’s now eyeing a “red panty night” showdown with Conor McGregor.
While calling out the Irishman, Stephens shared an edited image of him serving Conor McGregor’s head on a platter to U.S. President Donald Trump and UFC CEO Dana White. He captioned the post:
Paramount’s pushing for players like us. Unfinished business… and when it gets handled… heads will roll. 🇺🇸🩸”

Conor McGregor found the call-out hilarious. He hence reposted it on his stories with a laughing emoji:
The Irishman and Jeremy Stephens never locked horns in the UFC, even after McGregor mocked “Lil’ Heathen” at the UFC 205 presser.
Last year, they were rumored to lock horns under the BKFC banner and even had a brief face-off. But the bout never happened, and it is highly unlikely that they will ever step foot in the octagon opposite each other.
However, Conor McGregor is in contention for a spot on the White House card. He has been keeping fans updated and sharing training footage and clips, letting the world know that he is fully locked in for a June 14 return.
Meanwhile, Dana White has confirmed that the matchmaking for the UFC White House card is done. More news about the same is expected in the coming months.
UFC Veteran confident Conor McGregor won’t be a part of the White House card
Matt Brown is confident that Conor McGregor won’t be a part of the June 14 event. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Brown, while commenting on how he thinks the White House card won’t live up to the hype, also added that the UFC is using McGregor’s name to promote the once-in-a-lifetime event.
Brown finds it incredibly hard to digest that the Dubliner will fight on the South Lawn of the White House. He said:
They don’t have the stars that they used to have, and Conor’s not fighting on it. I don’t give a f**k what anybody says. I don’t care what he says. I don’t care what Dana says. They’re using him to promote it and using his name to get it out there.”
“The Immortal” added:
He’s not fighting on that sh*t, bro, and even if that is signed and a done deal, I’m not going to believe it until he is inside the octagon and a punch is thrown. Even on the walkout, I am gonna be like, something is going to happen here. When a punch is thrown, I’ll be like ‘All right, I guess he’s fighting.'”
