Conor McGregor Becomes Part-Owner in UFC Rival Promotion

McGregor Shocks UFC by Partnering with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

Conor McGregor has raised eyebrows by becoming a part-owner in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, a rival company to the UFC. McGregor, along with his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment, announced the partnership after previously sponsoring BKFC.

White Unhappy with McGregor's Move

McGregor's decision to join forces with BKFC has potentially put him at odds with UFC President Dana White. The move could potentially strain McGregor's relationship with the UFC, as he aligns himself with a direct competitor.

Former UFC Stars Join BKFC

BKFC has already attracted former UFC champions like Mike Perry and Luke Rockhold to their roster. Despite this, founder David Feldman has downplayed any rift with Dana White and emphasized that McGregor's involvement may not impact the UFC significantly.

Excitement Surrounds the Partnership

McGregor's sponsorship of BKFC's Forged Irish Stout was just the beginning, as the fighter is now officially part of the promotion. Feldman expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting the positive impact McGregor's involvement could have on BKFC.
