Lights, camera, action—there’s no better catchphrase for Conor McGregor. The former UFC champion’s role in elevating BKFC has been quite the spectacle. The David Feldman-led promotion—co-owned by ‘The Notorious’—made its bold Middle Eastern debut on April 4th and 5th at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Stadium, delivering two nights of raw, unfiltered combat. With four world title bouts and a stacked roster, the event was a resounding success. Riding high, Conor McGregor dropped a three-word message that perfectly captured the moment—earning fans’ appreciation worldwide.
“Eight events in six weeks, four countries—this is the next evolution of combat sports,” said David Feldman ahead of their marquee Dubai event, and the fighters didn’t disappoint. With back-to-back nail-biting fights and occasional fighter altercations, BKFC Dubai proved to be nothing short of a successful endeavor by the former UFC champion.
Recapping the record-breaking event, Conor McGregor took to his Instagram handle to post a photo of himself and caption it with, “WHAT A NIGHT OF IMMORTALISED ACTION FOR @bareknucklefc! JUST WOW! Non-stop action in every single fight! I am in awe of our @bareknucklefc fighters!”
He later shared the post on his Instagram story with the caption, “Blood, Sweat, and Tears.” The $400 million organization became a household name in the combat sports world after Conor McGregor, through his company, acquired a minority stake in it. Since ‘Mystic Mac’ joined BKFC, David Feldman appointed him as the promotion’s brand ambassador—a role he has embraced by turning the organization into a hot topic in the fighting community.
As BKFC continues to expand globally, the sport’s relevance is growing with each event—and Conor McGregor finds himself at the center of all the hype. When McGregor shared his post, fans flooded the comments section, including his fiancée, to show appreciation for his efforts.
Dee Devlin and fans react as Conor McGregor shares his BKFC success
Last year was a tough ordeal for both Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin because of the civil trial involving Nikita Hand in November 2024. The former UFC champion lost his credibility and several business deals. But despite these hard times, Dee Devlin stuck by his side, refusing to budge. As time has passed, Devlin has continued to supporting Conor McGregor. Reacting to McGregor’s BKFC 71 post, she wrote, “The boss.”
With a net worth of $400 million, BKFC stands at the top of all bare-knuckle combat sports organizations. But could the scale of it rival that of MMA promotions like the UFC and PFL? A curious fan believes that could happen with the might of Conor McGregor behind it: “Broz gonna make bkfc popular now.” Since Conor McGregor made the announcement to enter Irish politics, one fan wrote, “President of Ireland soon.”
Moreover, a fan added, “this dude doing so many side quests.” Last but not least, a fan emphasized that Conor McGregor has made BKFC a household name in the era of combat sports: “Bkfc is legit and awesome to watch! Conor is the man!”
But the comments weren’t all positive as one fan took to the comments to protest Adel Altamimi’s victory against David Mora, “David Mora should have won that fight.” Mora was knocked out in that battle, however, many thought it to be an early stoppage. It must be noted that Mora (193) landed more strikes in compression to Altamimi (158).
As BKFC expands its reach across the globe, will the David Feldman-led promotion challenge the UFC’s dominance in the world of combat sports? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
