Conor McGregor has made a significant move in the combat sports industry by acquiring an ownership stake in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship through his company, McGregor Sports & Entertainment. The announcement, made by McGregor himself, adds a new chapter to his already illustrious career in fighting and business.
This strategic investment marks McGregor’s deeper foray into the business side of combat sports, leveraging his fame and entrepreneurial spirit to expand his footprint beyond the octagon.

The involvement of such a high-profile figure in bare-knuckle boxing is expected to draw more attention to the sport, potentially increasing its appeal and viewership. It remains to be seen how McGregor will influence the direction and operations of the championship, but his track record suggests an ambitious approach that could significantly impact the growth and evolution of bare-knuckle fighting.
