Conor McGregor's Next Move After UFC Almost Guaranteed

David Feldman, the founder and president of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), expressed certainty about Conor McGregor's future with the promotion. Following McGregor's recent UFC fight, Feldman stated he "would bet his house" that McGregor would fight in BKFC after his next UFC bout. The two fighters had spoken the night prior, with Feldman noting McGregor appeared more focused than ever.

McGregor recently returned after a loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329 due to a knee injury, with no announced comeback date. BMFC has been a part-owner of BKFC since April 2024, and McGregor last fought in the UFC at UFC 329 in July. The upcoming BKFC event, BKFC Fight Night Mohegan Sun, is scheduled for August 21 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Feldman believes McGregor's appearance in BKFC would create "the biggest bare knuckle event in history."
