Biggest star in MMA at all times, Conor McGregor will venture into boxing without gloves – just outside the ring. Last Saturday night (27), the former UFC champion was announced as the new owner of Bare Knuckle FC.
The announcement was made during ‘BKFC: Knucklemania IV’, a card led by the dispute won by Mike Perry against Thiago Pitbull, in Los Angeles (USA). Since last year, McGregor has already seemed to get closer to the organization of bare-knuckle boxing, whether by appearing at events, interacting with some of its stars or praising the sport.
“Hey, Knucklemania! The Notorious Conor McGregor is here! Ladies and gentlemen, the big announcement I have for you today: I, Conor McGregor, with McGregor Sports & Entertainment, am now one of the owners of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Welcome to the big leagues! David Feldman (president of BKFC), baby, we did it”, celebrated McGregor.
Business man
In addition to the success and notoriety inside the octagon of UFC, where he was featherweight (66 kg) and lightweight (70 kg) champion, Conor McGregor also stood out outside the cage, as a businessman. The ‘Proper Twelve’ whiskey brand, one of his ventures, was sold by the Irish fighter for a million-dollar sum.
