During the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 broadcast, it was announced Conor McGregor would make a âhugeâ announcement, and boy oh boy, âNotoriousâ delivered. In a video package, the former two-division UFC champion announced that he is now part owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
âWhatâs up Knucklemania!â McGregor said. ââThe Notoriousâ Conor McGregor here. Ladies and gentlemen, the huge announcement that I have for you today: Conor McGregor, myself, and McGregor Sports and Entertainment is now an owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Welcome to the big leagues. David Feldman, baby, we did it.â
The BKFC president did not reveal any details but was ecstatic about the new partnership.
âLook, youâve got the biggest guy in all of combat sports right now as a part owner of our company,â Feldman said during the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 broadcast. âI think itâs just going to move the needle tremendously. Weâre going to do a lot of big things. Weâre going to open up a lot of new markets. Weâre partners with Conor McGregor. Everybody in the combat sports world, everybody in the world knows who that guy is. So Conor, thank you, and letâs blow this sh-t up.â
During the post-fight press conference, Feldman added, âWeâre going to take this motherfâking thing all the way to the top now.â
McGregor has been a fan of BKFC for several years and has helped promote it several times, even showing up at BKFC 41 last year to bring eyeballs to the product. McGregorâs Proper Twelve and Forged Irish Stout have also served as sponsorship partners of the promotion.
Iâm sure we will hear more about the ownership in the coming days and months as McGregor prepares for his highly anticipated return later this summer against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
I wonder how much heâs actually training right now
He honestly does not have to train to beat Michael Chandler
Yep, chandler will literally run his own face into a punch
Good for him. Most exciting sport out right now.
Thatâs just disrespectful. Guy is an alcoholic drug addict that hasnât won a proper fight in years.
Did you only start watching this month when you joined here?
To be fair, Chandy hasnât won in years either. And he is just happy to get the fight. Eddie Alvarez vibes. Wouldnât be surprised if he gets sniped early
I was at the show last night and they announced it

âHeâs Not Worried About UsâŚNot Yetâ - David Feldman On Whether Dana White Would Be Upset With Conor McGregorâs BKFC Part Ownership
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Founder and President David Feldman is asked if he thinks UFC President Dana White will have a negative reaction to Conor McGregor now holding part ownership in BKFC.
Smart investment.
I donât see why he would be bothered that combat sports bring more attention to the fighting. There is plenty to go around.
Mike Perry is a goddamned bare knuckle savage.
Like seriously, in a sport where it seems like people rarely put together more than one win at a time, this dude just keeps winning and looking better.
A long time ago, Michael Jordan found basketball, and fucking Mike Perry found bare knuckle boxing.
That Alves ko was weak as fuck- possibly a dive but who knows
