White probably mad McGregor co-owning BKFC

BKFC's KnuckleMania event in LA was a huge success, with "Platinum" Mike Perry winning and Conor McGregor becoming a part-owner.

BKFC recently hosted their annual KnuckleMania event in Los Angeles, marking their debut in California where bare knuckle fighting has been officially licensed by the state commission. The event was a massive success, with their top star "Platinum" Mike Perry securing another impressive KO win. Additionally, the announcement that Conor McGregor is now a part-owner of the promotion added even more excitement to the night.

It's incredible to see how far this niche combat sport has come, considering its humble beginnings in Biloxi, Mississippi. During the post-fight press conference for KnuckleMania 4, president David Feldman shared his enthusiasm for McGregor's involvement with the company. While specific details of the partnership were not disclosed, both Feldman and McGregor are clearly thrilled to be collaborating.

Feldman highlighted McGregor's immense popularity and influence, emphasizing how his involvement can elevate the promotion to new heights. The partnership between McGregor and BKFC began a year ago when McGregor attended a fight and subsequently became a sponsor with his beer brand, Forged Irish Stout. Their interactions led to discussions about potential collaborations and innovative ideas for the future.

The excitement surrounding McGregor's involvement is palpable, with Feldman expressing his eagerness to work with someone of McGregor's caliber. The press conference also touched on how UFC CEO Dana White might perceive this new partnership. Feldman acknowledged the success of the UFC but hinted that White might not be thrilled about McGregor promoting a different company.

Overall, the addition of Conor McGregor as a part-owner of BKFC has generated considerable buzz and anticipation for what the future holds for the promotion. With McGregor's star power and business acumen, BKFC is poised to reach new heights in the world of combat sports.
