Conor McGregor has achieved everything inside the octagon, but now he also wants to excel outside the cage as a businessman. The former simultaneous UFC double champ’s empire keeps growing, as the Irish fighter is now a part-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC).

The charismatic mixed martial artist announced it during the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 card Saturday night in Los Angeles. Now his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment has become a part owner of BKFC, with Triller remaining the majority shareholder in BKFC.

“‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor here,” he said in a video released before the co-main event. “Ladies and gentlemen, the huge announcement that I have for you today, Conor McGregor myself, and McGregor Sports and Entertainment is now an owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships.”

“Welcome to the big leagues. David Feldman, baby, we did it,” he added, referring to the BKFC president.

McGregor had previously been at a BKFC event in 2023 and said he wanted to fight for the promotion.

McGregor focused on Chandler

However, McGregor is now fully focused on Michael Chandler regarding fighting. After several months of silence from the UFC, the biggest MMA organization finally announced that the clash between both fighters will be held in June at UFC 303.
