Conor McGregor may not be heading to UFC 319, but that didn’t stop him from stealing the spotlight in Italy. The Irish superstar touched down in Naples and was instantly mobbed by fans who turned the streets into his personal arena. The chants, the flashes, the chaos, it felt more like a title fight than a casual trip.
McGregor, never shy of a show, leaned right into the moment. In a recent video on Instagram, he explained how BKFC now had a new meaning. “They have a term in the bare knuckle called BC and AC obviously before Christ and after Christ but it’s before Conor and after Conor!” he said with a grin, claiming his own place in combat sports history. Then came the roar of the crowd as he stepped out to greet them.
With cameras rolling, McGregor pointed to the sea of supporters gathered outside. The noise swelled, and he fed it with a booming, “Viva Napoli! Viva Napoli!”
The fans erupted louder, their energy spilling into the streets. A second clip showed him nearly swallowed by the mob, security scrambling to hold them back as he kept chanting with the crowd, refusing to be silenced.
For a fighter absent from the UFC spotlight, Conor McGregor’s presence in Italy proves one thing: love him or hate him, he remains the heartbeat of the spectacle!
