Conor McGregor has climbed up to the headlines once again, but for all the wrong reasons. Wait, you didn’t know about it? Worry no more. EssentiallySports has come up with yet another episode of the MMA News Roundup, to keep you up to date with the talk of the MMA town.

First up, we’ll take a look at what Elon Musk had to say about Joe Rogan’s deadline for inviting Donald Trump to his podcast. Next, we’ll learn why McGregor was under legal attack from a 3-year-old case. And finally, we’ll see what the UFC CEO thinks of Kamala Harris as the possible President of the United States. So without any further ado, let’s dive right into it!

Elon Musk provides a 3-word response for Joe Rogan

Talks about Joe Rogan interviewing the former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, have traveled through the world for quite some time now. But every single time, the 57-year-old JRE host has declined to invite the former POTUS to the JRE studio. He previously claimed that he didn’t really want to help Trump in any way. 

However, that didn’t mean that Rogan and Trump would never share their thoughts in a 3-hour-long conversation. After all, the Tesla boss, Elon Musk, was confident that a JRE episode featuring Trump would soon take place. 

A post on X that showcased Trump and Rogan began circling the internet. The post claimed that the JRE host had just 25 days to interview the ex-President of the United States. And Musk replied to the post with nothing but optimism in his mind. He wrote, “It will happen.” 

Now, let’s shift our focus to the troubles of the former UFC double champion, as he gets a date to present himself at the High Court. And in case you’re still guessing, it is indeed because of a 3-year-old case accusing the Irishman of assault.

Conor McGregor is set to trace his steps back to the court

About 3 years ago, a woman filed a case claiming that Conor McGregor once assaulted her at Dublin’s Beacon Hotel, in 2018. The case will be heard by Mr Justice Alexander Owens, as he fixed 5th November 2024, asking the Irish mixed martial artist to appear in front of the jury at the High Court. However, this wasn’t the first date that the court gave the ‘Mystic Mac’.

Initially, the hearing was set to happen back in June or July. But McGregor was preparing for his return against Michael Chandler during that time. Being a professional mixed martial artist, ‘The Notorious’ simply couldn’t lose previous training time with the courtrooms. Hence, he made a request to push the date a bit further in order to put all of his energy in training. Unfortunately, the fight never really materialized, after McGregor was forced to pull out of the bout because of a broken pinky toe. 

In a previous sitting back in May 2024, Mr Justice Owens claimed that he was doing the plaintiff a favor by putting the case up for the civil jury sessions in November, pointing out that it would go up in the court. 

While the plaintiff’s claims were pretty adamant, McGregor’s side has completely denied all allegations. Even though the case was filed back in 2021, no public claims have been made.

Now, let’s take a look at the final story for the day, as the UFC head honcho gives his opinion about Kamala Harris.

Dana White weighs in on Kamala Harris as the US President

The November Presidential Elections have been taking over all discussions, and the citizens of the USA have been divided into factions. It was pretty evident that Dana White had given all of his support to Donald Trump. But when it came to Harris, the UFC head honcho warned his fellow Americans to be scared.

Responding to a question on ‘The Late Show’, White wrote on X, “I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYONE. She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head. This election is very important, and this, along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions, should SCARE THE SH*T OUT OF YOU!!!”

What would Trump have to say in case he got invited to appear in the JRE? Will McGregor walk out of the court with a ‘not guilty’ plea? What are your thoughts on the upcoming Presidential Elections?
