Conor McGregor’s latest venture into the combat sports world sees him taking on a new role as a co-owner of Bare Knuckle FC, a rising fighting promotion. The Irishman expresses his enthusiasm for this new endeavor, declaring BKFC as the most thrilling combat sports event outside of the UFC. McGregor, known for his penchant for spectacle, sees great potential in the bare-knuckle format.
In a recent interview with Oscar Willis of TheMacLife, McGregor elaborated on his views, using former UFC fighters as examples. He contrasts the excitement of seeing a UFC veteran like Justin Gaethje compete in bare-knuckle fighting against the relatively less thrilling prospect of them continuing in traditional MMA promotions. McGregor believes that bare-knuckle fighting adds an extra layer of excitement and novelty to the careers of fighters, enhancing their appeal to fans.
McGregor’s involvement in BKFC not only reflects his interest in pushing the boundaries of combat sports but also his strategic mindset. He sees the potential for BKFC to complement the UFC rather than directly compete with it, which he believes benefits both organizations.
Meanwhile, McGregor’s return to the UFC octagon is eagerly anticipated, with his upcoming bout against Michael Chandler set to headline UFC 303. Despite delays in scheduling the fight, McGregor assures fans of his readiness and determination to make a statement in his comeback. His appearance as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter alongside Chandler further stoked anticipation for their clash, adding another layer of intrigue to their rivalry.
In his recent interview with TheMacLife, McGregor exudes confidence and determination, emphasizing his preparedness and focus on showcasing his skills in the upcoming fight. His calm demeanor and resolute attitude suggest that he is primed for a return to form, ready to reclaim his status as one of the most formidable fighters in the UFC.
As McGregor’s multifaceted involvement in combat sports continues to evolve, fans eagerly await his next moves both inside and outside the octagon, anticipating the excitement and spectacle that he invariably brings to the table.
