Conor McGregor has made waves in the combat sports community once again. But not because of him as a competitor, but as a promoter. Yes, you’ve heard it right. ‘The Notorious’ recently announced that he’s partnering up with Dana White‘s rival promoter, BKFC founder and president David Feldman, and is now one of the owners of the promotion.
The BKFC just had their KnuckleMania 4 event, headlined by Mike Perry, when David Feldman let the people know that they were going to make the most important announcement in the history of his promotion. As such, the camera shifted from the president of the promotion to Conor McGregor, who announced that he had now become a part owner of BKFC.
“What’s up, Knucklemania? ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor here. Ladies and gentlemen, a 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,” said Conor McGregor. This announcement surely came as a surprise, especially because for months, there were talks that maybe the Irishman would consider fighting in BKFC. However, in a dramatic turn of events, McGregor dedied to become an owner.
