UFC CEO Dana White says that he is no longer entertaining superstar Conor McGregor fighting Michael Chandler at the White House event. Ahead of the UFC’s first event of the year, and more importantly the first event with their new broadcast partner in Paramount, company CEO Dana White has been doing the media rounds and changed his stance on the biggest question in the sport. 🚨 Dana White says he is NOT interested in booking Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler at the UFC White House card 😬 "That was a couple years ago. No." (via @Complex) pic.twitter.com/Tirsmy5PJA — Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) January 15, 2026 For the past several months since it was announced, the UFC boss has been asked at nearly every media appearance about the event being held at the White House later this year. Specifically, which fights will be on the card and of course which matchup will get the honor of headlining the seminal event. The frontrunner has been the the sport’s biggest mainstream star Conor McGregor taking on his opposing coach from The Ultimate Fighter reality series Michael Chandler. In interviews throughout 2025, White made several comments acknowledging McGregor’s commitment to being on the card and saying how he can count on McGregor with such a responsibility as opposed to another superstar in Jon Jones. However, in an interview Thursday morning with Matt Welty of Complex, White was asked once again about McGregor vs Chandler headlining the event. Specifically, Welty asked “I know there’s all that talk of Michael Chandler and Conor, do you see that as a realistic thing?” to which White responded “No. That was a couple years ago.” When Welty followed up “So that’s nothing you’d entertain for the White House?” White reiterated. “No. No.” Considering the amount of attention on the event since nearly a year out from the date, many have felt that the addition of a superstar like McGregor or Jones (perhaps even both) to the card would make it potentially one of the most viewed events in UFC history. When Jones reportedly turned down a record $30 million for a fight with Tom Aspinall that was verbally agreed to, it appeared that White and the UFC were moving forward in favor of McGregor taking the spot by himself. Further, the idea of McGregor headlining the event was bolstered considering he was invited to the office and even spoke with the White House press while there which seemed to indicate he was in the place where he’d be favored to get the privilege. Should White stand by these most recent comments as the event draws nearer, it is now anyone’s guess who they might choose to headline their most talked about card in years.

CapcomMonster Hunter Wilds has been plagued by performance issues since it launched last year. Unstable framerates, stuttering, and texture streaming problems are evident across all platforms, even on the most high-end PCs that should be able to run the game without issue. While it seemed to be the result of poor optimization on Capcom’s part, the issue may be immensely more frustrating than that.Reddit user de_Tylmarande claims he’s discovered the root cause of why Wilds runs so poorly in the Monster Hunter subreddit. He says the game frequently checks for in-game DLC licenses in the background, causing performance to tank. And while he’s hopeful that Capcom will fix the issue in the near future now that it's been discovered, he says that he’s willing to release fixes himself if the developer doesn’t step in.On Thursday, De_Tylmarande told Inverse that “sadly [Capcom] still haven’t replied” to his outreach about the issue in Monster Hunter. Capcom did not immediately responded to Inverse’s requests for comment.The redditor explained that he first made the crucial discovery when playing Wilds through his friend’s account on his own rig. He noticed that many of the performance dips that he expected were miraculously gone. He logged back into his own account, redownloaded the game, and all of the issues he was used to returned. This was the same game running on the same rig, with one key discrepancy: his friend had every piece of DLC for the game, whereas he did not.To confirm that DLC was the issue, de_Tylmarande said he created a mod that tricks his copy of Wilds into thinking that all of the DLC released for the game was present on his drive (without pirating the more than $500 worth of paid skins and content). To his surprise, his usual performance hiccups were greatly reduced, confirming his suspicion.The user said that a vanilla copy of the game with no DLC sees the game’s framerate in player hubs plummet to the low to mid 20s. Meanwhile, a copy of the game with the mod enabled saw the framerate in those same areas jump as high as 80 frames per second. He was allegedly able to replicate the results on several PCs. He even shared a video proving his results.“Capcom focused so hard on microtransactions that they implemented an insanely crooked and aggressive DLC ownership check function,” he wrote in his lengthy explanation. “And no, it is not about protection or anticheat or whatever — it is just a DLC presence check.”Monster Hunter Wilds’ biggest problem may finally get a fix, thanks to a crafty member of the community. | CapcomDe_Tylmarande doesn’t believe Capcom did this on purpose, but likely an oversight that it hasn’t yet discovered. He said that he’s sent the discovery to Capcom support in hopes that they’ll implement a fix soon. However, if the company doesn’t address the issue, he’ll release the mod he made as an open-source fix.This isn’t the first time De_Tylmarande has found a solution to Capcom’s performance issues. He claims that he reported an animation-related bug in Dragon’s Dogma 2 back in 2024, which also tanked the game’s framerate. The bug was fixed in a patch on April 10, 2024, suggesting Capcom is open to player discoveries and feedback on the technical side.Despite being a much more streamlined game compared to its predecessor, Monster Hunter Wilds is a great game. Unfortunately, its technical problems hampered an otherwise great entry in the series. As of writing, the game sits at a Mixed user review rating on Steam, with many players lamenting the lack of optimization. Still, the game managed to be a big success, becoming the 2025’s third best-selling game.Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
