David Feldman, the president and founder of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), has confidently stated that Conor McGregor will “100%” fight for BKFC in the future. This bold prediction comes amid ongoing issues surrounding McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the UFC.
Conor McGregor, one of the most iconic figures in mixed martial arts, has been out of action since his leg injury at UFC 264 in July 2021. Despite plans to return to the octagon against Michael Chandler at UFC 303, McGregor had to withdraw due to a pinky toe injury. This setback has left fans eagerly awaiting his comeback, but it seems the road back to the UFC is fraught with complications.
Feldman’s Vision for McGregor in BKFC
David Feldman believes that McGregor’s future lies with BKFC, where he could potentially earn more money than anywhere else. Feldman shared his thoughts in an interview, emphasizing that McGregor’s involvement in BKFC would not only benefit the promotion but also be financially lucrative for the fighter. “If you fight here, you’ll probably make more money here than anywhere else in the world because of what it’s going to do for the company,” Feldman stated.

"Why wouldn’t you fight here? You have equity in the company and if you fight here, you’ll probably make more money than anywhere else in the world."

UFC’s Stance on Conor McGregor
While Conor McGregor reportedly has two fights left on his UFC contract, it is unlikely that the promotion would allow him to fight elsewhere. The UFC’s current broadcast rights negotiations may also be a factor in McGregor’s prolonged absence from the octagon. Social media personality Jake Paul speculated that the UFC might be keeping McGregor sidelined due to these ongoing negotiations.
