Conor McGregor disclosed this weekend that he is a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) co-owner. The Irishman made the statement during the live broadcast of the BKFC KnuckleMania IV event.
The event occurred at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, on April 27, featuring 12 action-packed contests. Former UFC fighters Mike Perry and Thiago Alves faced off in a five-round main event.
In the co-main event, BKFC heavyweight champion Mick Terrill faced reigning two-division champion Lorenzo Hunt. Conor McGregor becoming a part owner of another combat sports promotion has been the talking point ever since.
Speaking about the same, BKFC president David Feldman recently discussed how Conor McGregor’s ownership stake in BKFC may upset UFC CEO Dana White. He said:
”You [White] are probably little mad, your No.1 star is gonna talk about a different company so you’re probably not very happy about it. But he’s not worried about us. Not yet.”

Can Conor McGregor beat Michael Chandler?
Conor McGregor has been out of action for a while. The same tends to be why many believe he will have a hard time finding momentum to beat Chandler.
However, according to his coach, Conor McGregor is looking sharp ahead of his return. While speaking about it, he said:
“He’s looking super slick… I said this from the start, I see similarities to the Mendes fight. I’d be surprised if it can go two rounds. [McGregor] hits too hard, he’s too sharp. Is there going to be scrappiness and a few takedowns and stuff? Maybe But every round starts on the feet and his ability to get back there is underestimated.”

It will be interesting to see how the fight plays out on June 29th.
