BKFC
Will Conor McGregor ever fight in BKFC? Last week, BKFC President David Feldman told MMA Fighting that he believed McGregor could possibly fight in BKFC in the future if the Irishman secures a win in the upcoming UFC White House card in 2026.
“I think it depends on the outcome of the White House card,” Feldman told MMA Fighting. “If he wins the White House card, which I have every reason to believe no matter who he fight, he’s going to win.”
“If he looks good in that fight, he’s going to fight another fight. If that happens, then I would bet 100 percent he’ll fight for BKFC. Why wouldn’t he? What would he do for the evaluation of the company if he fights for BKFC? He’ll double or triple it and then he just doubled or tripled his interest in it and that’s way more than he’s going to get fighting anywhere else.”
On Thursday, MMA journalist and friend of the site, Kathia Vega, spoke with McGregor about his future in the UFC after the White House card.
“I am McGregor, I do as I please, Let’s see how the future shakes out. Obviously, I’ve got my UFC contract. I’ve got the fight in the White House coming up in eight months time, then I’ve got one more fight on my contract. The UFC have to come to me with business. They may try and secure me for longer. I don’t know what they’re going to do. They have a decision on their hands to make: do they secure me or do they let me go? I am unsure. All that matters for me is my preparation. What lays ahead after that? I am ready.”

McGregor teased a potential matchup between him and the winner of the BKFC 82 main event, which features Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry.
“I could fight them, I could fight them both at the same time, I am the double champion of the UFC, and I am McGregor, I dominated that sport”

Before returning to fighting, McGregor is promoting the upcoming BKFC 82 card in New Jersey that will take place at the Prudential Center in New Jersey and air live on DAZN PPV.
“This is our first time touching down here in New Jersey for Bareknuckle Fighting Championship, the alien of combat sport, we are different, this sport is ferocious, it is daunting, it is intense, it takes great courage and bravery to make that walk, and everyone in the arena is going to feel that this the future of combat sports.”
