The sport of bare knuckle is grabbing attention in the United States and in multiple countries. If you think it's being discussed now, imagine what will happen if Conor McGregor climbs into the BKFC ring. It appears that's going to happen at some point, per BKFC president David Feldman. I spoke with Feldman and he spoke about McGregor's future with the promotion and other upcoming events. Let's talk bare knuckle.

Feldman put it plainly. "I really, really would bet my house that you see Conor McGregor fighting BKFC after his next fight," he said. He had spoken to McGregor the night before and described him as more focused than he had ever seen him.

McGregor came back to fight at UFC 329 on July 11, but injured his knee in the opening seconds of his fight with Max Holloway. McGregor has had successful knee surgery and he expects to return to the Octagon to complete the final fight on his contract.

McGregor has been a part-owner of BKFC since April 2024. He last fought at UFC 329 in July, losing to Max Holloway by first-round TKO on a knee injury, and no comeback date has been announced.

If a McGregor fight generates the biggest events in the UFC, imagine what will happen when he fights BKFC. It's likely going to be the biggest bare knuckle event in history.
