BKFC President David Feldman considers McGregor’s involvement a dream scenario. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Feldman said:

Bareknuckle fighting, people coin it as an Irish sport...who wouldn’t want to see Conor McGregor fight in bare-knuckle fighting? The fans would love to see him in it... and that would be really a dream for us to be able to put him in there, but you never know.

However, McGregor has made contradictory statements. Conor McGregor had called out YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI for a bare-knuckle boxing match. However, McGregor’s interest seems to have fluctuated, with reports suggesting he initially pushed for the match but later claimed to have lost interest.
