Conor McGregor Eyes BKFC Future Following Completion of UFC Obligations

Conor McGregor has publicly expressed his desire to compete in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) once his current contractual obligations with the UFC are fulfilled. The former two-division UFC champion noted that he has "one more to go" before he is free from his existing deal.

The announcement comes in the wake of McGregor's appearance at UFC 329, where he faced Max Holloway in a high-profile rematch. The bout proved to be a significant disappointment, ending abruptly after McGregor sustained a torn ACL while attempting a flying switch kick early in the first round. Despite the unfortunate nature of the injury and the outcome of the fight, the contest served as the penultimate obligation in his current UFC tenure.

McGregor, who holds an ownership stake in BKFC, has frequently teased the prospect of making a move to the bare-knuckle circuit. With his recovery timeline currently looming, the former superstar appears focused on completing his final UFC requirement to transition into this new chapter of his combat sports career. While fans and pundits have analyzed the long-term implications of his injury, McGregor’s latest comments suggest his primary focus remains on navigating his contractual status to enable a future transition.
