Michael Johnson has shot his chance against Conor McGregor in order to get a fight at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. McGregor was recently seen at BKFC 41 where the Irishman went to support his former UFC opponents, Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez.
After the main event, McGregor also went inside the ring and did a face-off with BKFC champion Mike Perry. This gathered humongous attention as fans got excited over McGregor joining BKFC in the future. This prompted UFC veteran Michael Johnson to take to Twitter and made a serious callout to Conor McGregor. Johnson mentioned the CEO of BKFC, David Feldman, and asked him to make a fight between Johnson and McGregor.
He wrote: “You give me a ?remotely close to that main event. I’m taking a steel pipe to the teeth spit them shits out and still coming forward to get that W! @TheNotoriousMMA you ready for real street like that? For that ?. I got serious hands for you!.”
Johnson is still under his UFC contract and his last fight was in December against Marc Diakiese which he won. But it seems like the fighter is not satisfied with all that and wants new challenges now.
BKFC CEO was thrilled to see Conor McGregor inside the ring
It was Mike Perry who suddenly called out for Conor McGregor to come inside the ring, and McGregor was sporting enough to do that. While making his way in, McGregor also gathered the BKFC champion belt and put it on his shoulder.
Clips of the Irishman in the center of the BKFC ring went viral, and the CEO of the promotion, David Feldman, was extremely pumped to see that. In a recent interview with the MMA Hour, Feldman mentioned how great it was of McGregor to do what he did.
He said: “That’s awesome. He got into our ring and accepted a challenge that’s probably never going to happen, let’s be honest. He’s under contract with the UFC, but you never know what happens…That was an amazing moment for us, and obviously we’ll never interfere with what he’s doing with the UFC.”
According to Feldman, they have no plans to make any offer to McGregor given that he is currently working with the UFC, but in the future, anything can happen.
