Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is a top promotion, known for its raw and intense combat action. The promotion’s unique concept and brutal fights have captivated audiences worldwide, solidifying its place in combat sports. Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor purchased a minority stake in BKFC last year, recognizing its massive potential.
Since McGregor joined the BKFC, the promotion has attracted much more attention from many new fight fans. The ‘Notorious’ has done his best to promote the BKFC everywhere possible. However, they are not satisfied with just that and McGregor’s co-partner, David Feldman, recently announced some interesting updates.
We are in the process of an acquisition that’s gonna change combat sports. We are in the position to acquire a major sports-promoting platform right now. Number two is, we are gonna have the biggest and baddest fight tournament that ever took place. It’s gonna be the $25 million world’s baddest man tournament.

BKFC’s newest acquisition strengthens its status as a top combat sports promotion. Under McGregor and Fedman’s leadership, the move reflects their commitment to growth. This news has promised even more action-packed events and an ever-expanding roster of talent.

If he was to return, if he was to get back in camp, if he’s gonna pick a weight class, find an opponent go through that whole process again…I do not believe that he makes that walk again.
