Conor McGregor recently made big news but outside the octagon.
The UFC superstar was back in the headlines after he reveled that he’s invested in BKFC, making him a part owner in the leading bareknuckle boxing promotion. BKFC president David Feldman is excited to partner up with McGregor but not only because of the extra funding. Feldman expects – and wants – McGregor to be hands-on in the business, which is why it makes him the perfect partner for BKFC.
“There’s a lot of people throwing money in the combat sports landscape right now, (but) the money isn’t the hardest thing to come by. It’s getting the right partnership,” Feldman told MMA Junkie. “We didn’t want just a money partnership with Conor McGregor because that doesn’t make sense. We want input, we want his persona, we want him to blow it up and do the things that he does.
