Kai Stewart, the current BKFC Featherweight Champion, is defending his title against the undefeated Bryan Duran at BKFC 62 on Friday in Hollywood, Florida. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Stewart boldly claimed that the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the second biggest fighting promotion in the world after the UFC.
This statement from the BKFC champion prompted a response from former UFC star Conor McGregor.

Conor McGregor recently commented on BKFC featherweight champion Kai Stewart’s statement about his promotion’s standing in the fight world. Kai Stewart said, “With the other MMA promotions, they’re too similar to the UFC. That’s why they’re never going to be as big as the UFC. That’s why BKFC has such a high ceiling. We’re different. We are different.”
McGregor replied this by saying, “The Featherweight Champ speaks FACT! Big @bareknucklefc show on tomorrow night at the Hard Rock, Florida! 3 titles on the line! #BadManGame”
BKFC, a major MMA promotion, has welcomed Conor McGregor as an owner. Already connected to BKFC through his Irish Stout Beer partnership, McGregor’s new role as co-owner is a natural progression for the astute businessman. This strategic move is expected to boost BKFC’s future growth significantly.
BKFC 62 is happening on Friday, June 21, 2024, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The event features 12 bouts, with the main event showcasing Kai Stewart defending his featherweight title against Cuba’s Bryan Duran. Be sure to catch the action live.
