Conor McGregor has yet again managed to make headlines with his powerful statements. The former UFC double champion has been out of action for more than three years, and fans are skeptical about his comeback. However, the ‘Notorious’ has already been thinking about it, and the UFC might not be his only choice. 

Last year, McGregor shocked everyone after collaborating with Dave Feldman and becoming the co-owner of BKFC. Since then, the UFC superstar has remained a consistent participant in promoting BKFC, and hyping up the fights. In a recent interview, the Irish fighter shared his intentions to fight in the promotion as soon as possible. 

If you think I’m up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I won’t step in there myself, think again. For sure, Conor McGregor will fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Mark my words.

He expressed that he wants to associate with the BKFC world title given the significance of it.

‘Mystic Mac’ suggested Mike Perry, Jeremy Stephens, and Eddie Alvarez as ideal opponents for his highly anticipated debut. Each of these fighters shares a competitive history with him, adding intrigue and excitement for fans across the globe. However, as always, anything involving McGregor remains uncertain, keeping fans guessing and speculating.
