Over the weekend, Conor McGregor revealed that he is now one of the owners of the BKFC. McGregor, a former UFC double champion, has had prior involvement with BKFC through his Irish Stout Beer brand, which served as the official beverage partner for the promotion.
This recent development signifies McGregor’s ongoing expansion in combat sports, as he becomes a part owner of BKFC.
