Irish martial arts star Conor McGregor is expanding its activities and from now on will also be a co-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
During the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 tournament in Los Angeles, it was announced that according to the agreement, McGregor Sports and Entertainment, the company of former UFC two-weight champion McGregor, will become a part owner of BKFC, while Thriller will remain the main shareholder of the company.
“The famous Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor is here. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a huge announcement – Conor McGregor and McGregor Sports and Entertainment are now co-owners of BKFC,” McGregor said in the video. “Welcome to the top league. David Feldman, baby, we did it.”
BKFC president D. Feldmanas in 2023. greeted McGregor in the bare-knuckle ring when an impromptu showdown was arranged for the Irishman to face Mike Perry after he defeated former UFC champion Luke Rockhold.
C. McGregor later stated that he would like to fight without gloves before his career ends, and now he has become part of the most successful bare-knuckle organization in the world.
BKFC has been expanding and moving into new markets in recent years. Teaming up with McGregor will only further increase BKFC’s popularity and reach, and perhaps even open doors to McGregor’s home country of Ireland.
