Bare-knuckle fighting has always crossed a fine line between combat sport and savagery. The latest BKFC event in Newcastle pushed that boundary to its absolute limit, leaving even hardened combat sports veterans shaken. Among those taken aback was BKFC part-owner Conor McGregor. His short response captured the gravity of the situation.
The incident occurred during what should have been a routine preliminary bout at BKFC 68. Danny Moir and Kyle Redfearn squared off in a 185-pound contest. By the second round, Redfearn’s facial structure had been so severely compromised that medical professionals had no choice but to stop the fight. McGregor had a 5-word response for this brutal match on X.
“As Bad As It Gets! @bareknucklefc”
Conor McGregor added part of BKFC’s ownership to his growing business empire earlier this year. Since then, he has been promoting these fights immensely. If ‘The Notorious’ plays his cards right, this fight could be a poster child for the promotion’s raw and brutal nature.
The event continued its destruction throughout the night, featuring six more knockouts. In the main event, Anthony Faulkner added to the knockout tally by stopping Dawid Oskar in the second round. BKFC 68 will likely be remembered as one of those events that makes everyone involved take a step back and reflect on their lives!

‘The Notorious’ proved again that he was as comfortable celebrating victories as he created them. The former UFC champion, now a BKFC part-owner, was caught up in the electric atmosphere of bare-knuckle fighting. The peak of this event came when Ben Bonner secured a spectacular knockout victory over Lewis Keen.

In true Conor McGregor fashion, the Irishman didn’t let the moment pass without adding his signature flair. Armed with a can of his own Irish Forged Stout, he beckoned the victorious Bonner to join him in a celebratory drink. The sight of a bloodied bare-knuckle boxer and a suited McGregor downing beers perfectly encapsulated the raw, unfiltered spirit of BKFC.
The incident highlighted Conor McGregor’s evolution from purely a fighter to a fight business mogul. His involvement with BKFC shows a shrewd understanding of combat sports’ entertainment value, even if it raises eyebrows among UFC fans. Whether he’s throwing punches or drinking, the Irishman continues to command attention in ways few other fighters can match.
