Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Conor McGregor has acquired a stake in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), coming on board as a co-owner.
While McGregor has acquired his minority stake through McGregor Sports and Entertainment, Triller Fight Club remains the majority BKFC shareholder.
Speaking about his investment, McGregor commented:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the huge announcement that I have for you today, Conor McGregor myself and McGregor Sports and Entertainment is now an owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships. Welcome to the big leagues. David Feldman, baby, we did it.“
David Feldman, President, BKFC, said:
“You’ve got the biggest guy in all of combat sports right now as a part owner of our company. I think it’s just going to move the needle tremendously. We’re going to do a lot of big things. We’re going to open up a lot of new markets. Look, we’re partners with Conor McGregor. Everybody in the combat sports world, everybody in the world knows who that guy is. So Conor, thank you and let’s blow this up.“
