A former UFC two-division champion, Conor McGregor, invested in BKFC before his UFC 303 return. BKFC is a bare-knuckle boxing organization. He now owns a sizable portion of the company and can influence essential business choices because he joined its ownership group.
In addition to being a fantastic promoter, Conor McGregor is a wise investor. His recent investment in BKFC wasn’t a ploy for attention.
The former UFC champion’s financial commitment to the bare-knuckle fighting team goes beyond simple economics. He currently owns a portion of the company alongside social media mogul Triller. Yes, McGregor’s name raises awareness for BKFC, but creator and president David Feldman says it goes beyond that.
When Did Conor McGregor Buy His Share In BKFC?
Just over a year ago, McGregor saw Mike Perry take on former UFC champion Luke Rockhold on a card catalyzing his decision to invest in BKFC. McGregor, one of the most boisterous supporters, even wore a BKFC title on his shoulder. After winning, he and Perry got into a lighthearted brawl.
After that, McGregor started sponsoring BKFC with his Forged Irish Stout brand, but Feldman continued communicating with him to finalize this agreement.
McGregor is well into training camp to prepare for his June 29 return to UFC 303. In his first return match in almost three years, he will face Michael Chandler.

Although Feldman anticipates his new business partner will help BKFC in various ways—such as making appearances at events or even acting as the master of ceremonies at press conferences or other events for promotion—that will continue to be McGregor’s primary emphasis.
In terms of the future, Feldman seems eager to collaborate with McGregor in any way he can now that he has a stake in BKFC’s sustained success.
