Conor McGregor Becomes Part-Owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
Conor McGregor, the former dual-weight UFC champion, has expanded his business empire by becoming a part-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship [BKFC]. With a fortune of £200 million, McGregor has invested some of his money into the rapidly rising fight promotion, solidifying his presence in the combat sports world.
During the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 card in Los Angeles, McGregor surprised fans with a special video message announcing his ownership of BKFC. The Irish fighter expressed his excitement, stating, “Welcome to the big leagues. David Feldman, baby, we did it.” McGregor shared the news on social media, declaring BKFC as the fastest-growing sport promotion in the world.
BKFC president David Feldman was thrilled by McGregor’s involvement, recognizing the impact it will have on the company. With McGregor on board, Feldman believes BKFC will reach new heights and open up new markets in the combat sports world.
Despite his business ventures, McGregor is still focused on his fighting career. Scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29, McGregor aims to make a successful comeback after breaking his leg in a bout with Dustin Poirier in 2021. A victory could propel McGregor towards title contention in multiple weight classes, while a loss may signal the end of his top-flight MMA career.
With his newfound ownership in BKFC, McGregor’s future in combat sports looks promising. Whether he continues to compete in the UFC or ventures into bare-knuckle boxing, McGregor’s influence in the fight game is undeniable. Fans can expect to see the Notorious One make waves both inside and outside the ring in the coming years.
