Recently, Irish MMA star Conor McGregor took the world of combat sports by storm. McGregor, known for his bold moves in and out of the Octagon, made a surprise announcement, revealing that he has earned a minority stake in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Although the extent of his involvement in the disappearance remains a mystery, this unexpected development sent shock waves throughout the world of warfare.
McGregor’s BKFC Strategy
McGregor’s interest in BKFC is not exactly news, his appearance at BKFC 41 last April was the beginning of his interest in management.

Press Conference storm
However, McGregor’s business is not the only concern. Recently, during the press conference for the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jaime Munguia, Alvarez found himself in a heated exchange with Oscar De La Hoya, Sparks Splatter. Controversy erupted when De La Hoya called on boxing to respect Alvarez and reopened past controversies, including Alvarez failing a drug test in 2018.
McGregor’s provocative idea
McGregor seized the opportunity and wasted no time adding fuel to the fire. He envisioned an epic fight on social media: a fight between Alvarez and De La Hoya under the BKFC banner. McGregor’s announcement angered fans who wanted to focus on the clash between the Titans.
