David Feldman, the BKFC President, says Conor McGregor will fight under the promotion.

McGregor is a part-owner of the organization and has attended several pressers. He has indicated his desire to fight under BKFC once his UFC deal expires. McGregor has two fights left on his UFC deal, but his next fight remains unclear. The Irishman has not had a UFC fight since his 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He then pulled out of his UFC 303 fight against Michael Chandler with a broken toe. Chandler will fight Charles Oliveira at UFC 309, while Dana White expects McGregor to fight early next year. However, the Irishman appears to be planning his career for when he leaves the UFC.

BKFC president David Feldman believes “100%” that Conor McGregor will eventually fight in BKFC:

“Why wouldn’t you fight here? You have equity in the company and if you fight here, you’ll probably make more money than anywhere else in the world.”

“Unless he’s the best salesman in the world, the talks that we’ve had it’s like ‘I’m fighting here. I’m like yeah, OK. He [said] ‘I’m fighting here.’ “I go, ‘Why wouldn’t you fight here?’ Because you have equity in the company and if you fight here, you’ll probably make more money than anywhere else in the world because of what it’s going to do for the company. So I truly believe what you said — I think 100 percent he fights here,” Feldman said
