Back in April last year, Conor McGregor shook the combat sports world by announcing his entry into the BKFC management board through a strategic investment in David Feldman’s promotion. Fans were stunned to see ‘Mystic Mac’ don the hat of a promoter—but expectations were sky-high, and he certainly delivered. With bold moves into European markets and a debut in the Middle East, BKFC has surged ahead like the Max Verstappen of combat sports, leaving the competition in the dust. Amidst the chaos, Mystic Mac’ has come forward to share his thoughts on the rise of BKFC.
The David Feldman-led promotion made its debut in the Middle East on April 4th and 5th at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Stadium, delivering raw, unfiltered combat, with Trout vs Trinidad-Snake headlining the main card. When asked about how the promotion is gearing up to compete against the top shots of the combat sports world, McGregor emphasized that, unlike other promotions, BKFC doesn’t provide subpar entertainment to its audience, “Not only is there no chance of a boring fight in BKFC, there’s no chance of a boring exchange.”
He further added, “Look at these last five fights — that was the highest caliber and highest level of fighting you will ever see, ever, anywhere across this planet. These gentlemen put up an incredible fight. Nico — he has my face tattooed on his leg — is now the number one contender for King Kai’s belt, who fights later on this evening. This is rising, and we are enjoying every single minute of it.”
Conor McGregor’s words hold some truth—BKFC does resemble a fight between two gladiators. Two fighters step into the ring with bare knuckles, battling each other until only one is left standing. Unlike other promotions, most fights in BKFC don’t go the distance. Blood, sweat, and some loose teeth are what fans love and BKFC certainly delivers such performance to its audience.
Dubbed as the fastest growing major combat sports organization, BKFC has already made inroads in England, Spain, and Dubai, and with the Italy event lined up, Conor McGregor is looking to conquer the European roads while UFC focuses on the American markets, not yet exploring the potential of the Eurpoean audience. As promotion gains popularity, Conor McGregor has dropped a banger announcement that pulls him closer to making a debut.
Conor McGregor confesses inner feelings about BKFC debut
The biggest question making rounds in the MMA community is Conor McGregor’s comeback. The former dual-weight champion has been away from the Octagon for years now, and with no concrete signs of a return, many fans believe this might be the end of the road for ‘The Notorious.’ Although McGregor occasionally announces his return, most of these claims tend to be exaggerated. Fairly recently, the former UFC champ was asked about his BKFC fight, to which McGregor emphasized that he would be a perfect cutout for the BKFC.
“I’d do very good [in the BKFC]. My accuracy is final. I’m very accurate and I’ve got big lunch boxes as well, big sledgehammers are there for fists. So, you know, I’d be confident in it for sure. Would I be putting weapons in my back pocket? Yes. I’m looking at the lightweight fighters there today. [BKFC champion Luis] Palomino ‘The Baboon’ and HD [BKFC star Howard Davis], their stance is a wee bit fancy,” ‘Mystic Mac’ told the BKFC in an interview.
Conor McGregor’s comeback would send shockwaves through the combat sports world—no doubt about it. But the real question remains: When will he return? Only time will tell. What are your thoughts on the hubbub? State your opinion in the comments below.
