Viral moments in any MMA organization help boost events and generate hype. That’s where stars like Conor McGregor come in, creating those must-see moments that capture fans’ attention. McGregor’s personality is a major draw, and that’s exactly what BKFC’s Dave Feldman appreciates about him. Recently, Feldman explained why McGregor is the perfect face for the promotion.
‘The Notorious’ enjoys a huge fan base, and his fight news with Logan Paul took the internet by storm. However, it was later revealed that the matchup had fallen through due to internal issues.
Beyond that, McGregor’s involvement with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has significantly impacted the organization. In a chat with Ariel Helwani, Feldman shared that the main goal of bringing McGregor on board was to make him the face of the company and allow him to truly express himself. He explained:
“We brought him in to get in the middle of the fighters. Brought him in to talk. We brought him in to create viral moments, and that’s what he does. I don’t need to be the center of attention. Let him do that because he does a lot better job than I do.”
